‘Traffic Shaping’ Voilates FCC?
A planned meeting by the FCC has been announced to tackle the problem of ‘traffic shaping’ – the process of ISP’s dictating access to certain websites, services (such as peer-2-peer) and bandwidth – which is apparently in violation of the ‘net neutrality’ policy employed by the FCC.
“The issue of net neutrality has come to the fore mainly as a result of Comcast, which is under investigation by the FCC for sabotaging peer-to-peer traffic such as BitTorrent downloads.”
