COURT: FCC SHOULD DECIDE NET NEUTRALITY ISSUES
US Federal Judge Phyllis Hamilton has suspended proceedings in a subscriber's lawsuit against Comcast while the Federal Communications Commission completes its investigation into whether the company violated Network Neutrality principles by slowing traffic to peer-to-peer sites. In the ruling, Judge Hamilton said the FCC has "well-established" authority to regulate broadband companies' services. "The reasonableness of a broadband provider's network management practices has ... been firmly placed within the jurisdiction of the Federal Communications Commission," she wrote.
