The U.S. Federal Communications Commission has ordered Comcast to stop interfering with peer-to-peer traffic on its broadband network, with officials there saying the cable provider was "invasive" in its network traffic management.

In a victory for net neutrality advocates, the FCC on Friday voted 3-2 to order
Comcast to stop slowing P-to-P traffic by the end of the year and to come up with a new network management plan. If Comcast refuses, the company could be subject to an injunction and other regulatory penalties. (cont)
