Data Discrimination

I use Comcast as my ISP. Evidently, the FCC is investigating them as to whether they discriminate against certain types of data, namely file sharing. I can personally attest that ever so often my internet shuts down for 24 to 48 hours.

The investigation is more important because its the first real world case of the FCC possibly enforcing the concept of "net neutrality", or that carriers must treat all internet traffic equally.
