The all-seeing-eye tells me my post about the FCC is a popular one, and Calixte and Mags have both come asking me about this topic, so I figure it’s time for another installment of “Ask Janus.” If you have a question to ask that’s remotely related to either politics, government, or something I’ve written about in the past, feel free to leave a comment, shoot me an email, or toss me an IM.

Today’s question is: “Why does Comcast get a legal monopoly in Houston and why does the FCC get to regulate them?”

Friday the FCC slammed Comcast for violating the internet access policy when it blocked internet traffic for many of its subscribers and terminated the accounts of high bandwidth users. While I don’t much care for the FCC, I can honestly say this is one of the best things to come out of that board in years.
