Congress to Investigate the FCC over Comcast Investigation

Life & World, Technology

Confused about why Congress would investigate the FCC? No worries… let me explain:

Comcast starts blocking and shaping user traffic quietly and denies it when asked about it.
The block and shaping is independent confirmed by techies and researchers
The Associated Press finally confirms it and publishes their findings
The FCC takes notice, and announces they will investigate Comcast
*MY OPINION* Comcast calls the lobbyists it has in Washington and tells them to get this fixed or the lady in the picture above is going to hide under their beds.
Congress, in a surprise announcement, says they will now investigate the FCC

So that’s how the law works. If someone steps to you, you pay someone bigger to step to them… *gang-sign*

This could go two ways. Either Congress is going to bully the FCC to drop the investigation on Comcast OR Congress is finally representing the best intentions of the American people and is going to kick the FCC’s ass for not doing something sooner
