FCC catches Comcast screwing you again
'Cable giant Comcast may again be in network neutrality hot water with the
Federal Communications Commission. The agency is investigating concerns
that Comcast's new network management practices degrade the sound
quality of VOIP (voice over IP) services such as Vonage and Skype that compete
with Comcast's own VOIP service.

In a Jan. 17 letter to Comcast, the FCC told Comcast to provide "a
detailed justification for Comcast's disparate treatment of its own VOIP
service as compared to that offered by other VOIP providers on its
network." The FCC also wants to know why the company has failed to
disclose "the distinct effects that Comcast's new network management
technique has on Comcast's VOIP offering versus those of its
competitors."
