Comcast Challenges FCC Order on Net Management Practices

Earlier today, Comcast filed a lawsuit with the U.S. Court of Appeals  
in Washington, D.C., that challenges the Federal Communications  
Commission's order concerning the cable operator's network management  
practices. In early August, the commission, on a 3-2 vote, determined  
that Comcast's targeting of peer-to-peer traffic resulted in the  
blocking of internet service to customers. Comcast has based part of  
its challenge of the FCC ruling on grounds that the agency did not  
make its decision using pre-existing legally enforceable standards or  
rules.
