Comcast Sues to Stop FCC Ruling on Net Speed

Comcast Corp., the second-biggest U.S. high-speed Internet service provider, asked a court to overturn a Federal Communications Commission ruling that it violated policies intended to keep the Internet open. The FCC on Aug. 1 found Comcast had improperly blocked peer- to-peer programs such as BitTorrent that are used to share videos and other files, and told the company to stop.
