News reports surfaced late Thursday night that Martin would soon issue a ruling in the long-awaited case against the cable provider. The chairman subsequently held a press conference in Washington this afternoon during which he announced plans to circulate “an item that finds Comcast’s broadband network management practices to be in violation of the FCC’s policy principles,” according to an FCC source.

“The order asks them to stop those practices and disclose going forward how their management practices may affect consumers. The order does not include a monetary fine,” the FCC said.

Isn’t it great to be a large corp?
