Comcast Wins Ruling From FCC, Net Neutrality Takes Another Blow

It seems like only yesterday that the FCC Chairman announced their support of Net Neutrality. It seemed then that having the FCC on Net Neutrality's side was a massive coup in the ongoing battle to keep the corporations grubby hands off of our pipes. Now it seems as though that's not necessarily the case. The U.S. Court of Appeals in D.C. just ruled that the FCC "lacks authority to require broadband providers to give equal treatment to all Internet traffic flowing over their networks". In this particular case, Comcast was being investigated for throttling bittorrent speeds back in '07. This is a big fat blow to Net Neutrality, which is vital for sites and shows like ours to survive. Head to Save The Internet to find out more about Net Neutrality.
