COMCAST COMES UP WITH BROADBAND "COMPLIANCE PLAN"
Subscribers to Comcast's broadband service who wish to continue making heavy use of BitTorrent peer-to-peer sites to download movies and such may wind up seeing the speed of their Internet connections vastly reduced during peak hours, the head of online services for the cable company told Bloomberg News on Wednesday. The comments from Mitch Bowling came after the release Wednesday of the FCC's August 1 order saying that Comcast had violated its open-access guidelines by blocking Internet traffic by heavy users. The FCC has given Comcast one month to develop a compliance plan. It reportedly is calling its plan "fair share."
