The FCC pursuing something worthwhile?
After spending an inordinate amount of time and energy on a putatively accidental exposure of nipple jewelry and determining how and whether to gradate uses of the F-word, the FCC is now, apparently, poised to actually, serve citizens' interests, by enforcing principles of Net neutrality. Comcast has pretty clearly been "throttling" speeds for users of P2P networks like BitTorrent. While it is not clear whether the FCC's actions will have any legal teeth, it is a relief to see somebody in Washington paying attention to the "shaping" of the Web by one of the largest ISPs in the country. Obviously, this is one of many reasons to weigh your choices carefully when selecting an ISP.
