FCC questions Comcast about internet traffic

NEW YORK (AP) - January 15, 2008

Comcast denies it blocks file sharing. But it acknowledges milder interventions to improve the flow of traffic for the majority of its customers.

A Comcast executive says the company believes its practices are in accordance with FCC policy. He says Comcast looks forward to responding to the FCC inquiries regarding its broadband network management.

A coalition of consumer groups and legal scholars asked the FCC to stop Comcast from discriminating against subscribers sharing certain types of Internet data.

They want the commission to fine Comcast $195,000 for every affected subscriber.
