Comcast接到FCC正式调查函——美国ISP着手另类网络内容审查（二）
Comcast公司周一宣布，已经正式接到美国通讯委员会（FCC）的调查函，该公司涉嫌严重干涉其宽带用户的使用某种特定的网络文件传输方式（P2P）。事件的详细起因请看之前的报道“美国ISP着手另类网络内容审查”。
很多公司由于同样使用P2P方式传输文件，也受到了Comcast的限制。一家叫Vuze的公司单独向FCC提起诉讼，希望FCC能够澄清，网络服务提供商（ISP）到底有多大权限控制用户的流量。
更新：经过FCC几次听证之后，3月27日，Comcast和BitTorrent两家公司签订了互谅协议，互相协作，更有效的解决富媒体文件传输问题和网络空间容量管理。Comcast不再对来自BitTorrent的流量进行限制。
此事到此显然还没有结束，因为这只是这两家公司之间的行为，更大的命题在于网络中立的原则能否确认，甚至立法加以保障。
