FCC to find Comcast guilty of blocking Web videos.
In a ruling expected this Friday , the FCC is expected to rule against Comcast for slowing some of its customers' Internet traffic. The company has admitted the allegations but said it was doing it to prevent some bandwidth hogs -particularly those using file-sharing services like BitTorrent -, from taxing its network.
If left unchallenged or upheld in court after a challenge , the FCC decision will affirm the agency authority in the heart of the net neutrality debate.
For now at least, it seems like their can only be one cop when it comes to Internet traffic.
