FCC punishes Comcast for blocking bitorrent

So Comcast has been outed for knowingly and illegally interfering with
people using file sharing applications like Bittorrent for no reason,
other than they claim it is "network management," but in fact it's just
one company being a bunch of assholes. The FCC is punishing Comcast for
illegally interfering in its "open access" policy for denying users
their use of Comcast's DSL network.

BY ALL RIGHTS The FCC should also look into the illegal blocking of
Usenet access on Verizon's and Time Warner's Road Runner networks, which
happened partly due to the caving in of these wimpy companies and
pressure and demands from the New York State Attorney General. Last time
I read about this, only the Federal level may force companies to do
this. If any State Attorney General wants to block this, they should get
FCC clearance if they can do so - AND ONLY IN THEIR OWN STATE.

The Use of Newsgroups via Usenet servers is included in one's Internet
Service, and blocking access to them because of one state attorney
general's demands that, ooooh, someone might be doing something
"illegal" on them while perfectly legal things are going on at the same
time, ALSO falls under this same policy and blocking them Violates the
FCC's Policy on Open Access to Internet.

The New York State Attorney General should be told to go mind his own
business by the FCC. And upon that, over turn and force Verizon and Time
Warner to restore service to Usenet newsgroups through its own network.
They cannot claim there was low usage - they know perfectly well it was
being used and with considerable volume. They're just trying to use a
lie as an excuse because we know what they're really doing. And just
because one state attorney general pressured the company into illegally
blocking Usenet newsgroup access in in that state, they had no
jurisdiction to force the company to shut off access in Other States as
well.

If you have become a victim of Verizon's or Time Warner's illegal
violation of Open Access to the Internet as it concerns access to Usenet
Newsgroups, then I encourage you to write a letter about this issue to:

Federal Communication Comission
445 12th Street SW
Washington, DC 20554

I feel the New York State Attorney General overstepped his bounds and
stepped on what is essentially a Federal issue and not one for the
states. If the FCC can punish Comcast for interfering with bittorrent,
among other uses for their network, then they must look into this issue
as well and restore access to Usenet through Verizon and Time Warner
Road Runner also!!

I believe this is a valid point and it must be heard!
