Broadband giant Comcast is now challenging sanctions from the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). The company filed paperwork with the
US Court of Appeals in Washington that questioned whether the agency
has grounds to impose restrictions upon its bandwidth management
policies. The penalties do not include fines, though they do require
Comcast to refrain from blocking certain activities, including
file-sharing applications.
Additionally, the Commission required
Comcast to detail its bandwidth management policies moving forward.
Comcast agreed to the demands, and started implementing changes, though
the broadband provider wants to strike a formal order from books. "We
filed this appeal in order to protect our legal rights and to challenge
the basis on which the Commission found that Comcast violated federal
policy in the absence of pre-existing legally enforceable standards or
rules," the company stated.
Comcast first courted controversy by
throttling or disconnecting certain high-bandwidth requests, including
those tied to BitTorrent. The group is now issuing a 250
gigabyte-per-month usage cap, indiscriminate of the applications or
activities involved.
