Federal Communications Commission Chairman Kevin Martin recommended that Comcast be sanctioned over its throttling of certain protocols on customers connections according to a New York Times article. Martin’s recommendation to Commission is that Comcast not be fined, but be required to change it practices and provide details in what it had done in the past. The recommendation shows Martin support for network neutrality, the practice of not favoring certain uses of Internet connections. In an interview with the Times Martin said: “The Internet is based upon the idea that consumers can go anywhere they want and access any content they want, When they show they are blocking access to some sort of content, they have the burden to show that what they are doing is reasonable.” He also told the Times that providers needed to tell customers of any limits on bandwidth that they can use. The Commission is scheduled to make its decision on August 1.
