CNET News Daily Podcast: Comcast vs. FCC vs. itself
Federal regulators voted 3-2 on Friday to declare that Comcast's throttling of BitTorrent traffic last year was illegal. It's the first time any U.S. broadband provider has ever been found to violate Net neutrality rules. But it's not an open-and-shut case. Though Comcast has since stopped the practice, it's unclear whether the FCC actually has the authority to rule on this kind of issue. CNET News' Declan McCullagh stops by to explain the implications.
Also on Friday's podcast: Yahoo shareholders finally get their say; a California judge says early-termination fees for wireless plans are illegal; and the Department of Homeland Security says it can confiscate any laptops taken across U.S. borders.
