Comcast Corp said on Wednesday that it would cooperate with an investigation by U.S. regulators into how it manages some Internet traffic on its network, but again denied it had interfered with file-sharing services. "We believe our practices are in accordance with the FCC's policy statement on the Internet, where the Commission clearly recognized that reasonable network management is necessary for the good of all customers," a Comcast executive said.

Public Knowledge and Free Press, both critical of provider traffic blocking, praised Martin's CES statements. Public Knowledge is pleased that the FCC is "willing to stand by their principles to protect American consumers," the group said in a statement. "We look forward to FCC proceedings that will determine what are legitimate uses of power by telecom companies, and which are not."
