In the recent weeks another scandal has hit the virtual world of the Internet. It has all started when an Associated Press report has claimed that the most important Internet access provider from the United States, that is Comcast, is blocking its costumers from accessing the popular, as well as controversial P2P service BitTorrent. The latest move, which has been made public on the 2^nd of November, represents the Federal Communications Commission’s formally having been asked to check on whether Comcast blocks or even slows its customers’ access to the peer-to-peer files-haring services.

On the 1^st of November the SaveTheInternet.com web site and some Internet scholars from Harvard, Yale and Stanford have filed a complaint to the Federal Communications Commission asking it to check on and clarify Comcast’s bandwidth policy. These people have also asked the Federal Communications Commission to prevent all the Internet service providers from degrading the file-sharing applications in the future.

Anyway, meanwhile Comcast continues to deny any wrongdoing. The company has also issued the following statement: "Comcast does not, has not, and will not block any Web sites or online applications, including peer-to-peer services, and no one has demonstrated otherwise. We engage in reasonable network management to provide all of our customers with a good Internet experience, and we do so consistently with FCC policy."

But let’s see what the FCC has to say about it after all!
