Can the Feds enforce Network Neutrality? Maybe not

Federal regulators may be probing Comcast's throttling of BitTorrent filesharing traffic, but can they actually take action, if they choose, against the company or any other broadband provider on Net neutrality grounds? The answer may not be simple. And if the Federal Communications Commission and other regulators are really powerless -- in other words, if they need Congress to enact new laws -- it means that any threats to take action against Comcast, based on alleged violations of the law today, are merely empty ones. That's the issue that former staffers and officials from the FCC and Federal Trade Commission took up at an event on Thursday.
