I'm sure Canadian ISP's will be watching this case carefully. Bell Canada has also been throttling P2P traffic.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The head of the Federal Communications Commission said Thursday he will recommend that the nation's largest cable company be punished for violating agency principles that guarantee customers open access to the Internet.

The potentially precedent-setting move stems from a complaint against Comcast Corp. that the company had blocked Internet traffic among users of a certain type of "file sharing" software that allows them to exchange large amounts of data.
