A report suggests that the FCC will rule against Comcast when it issues its report about the company's file-sharing traffic blocking on Friday.

Late last week, three of the five FCC commissioners voted in favor of an item saying Comcast violated federal policy by dialing down peer-to-peer traffic over its network. The ruling, which won't include a fine, will require Comcast to stop blocking or slowing traffic to peer-to-peer sites like BitTorrent, explain to consumers and the commission how it has blocked such traffic in the past, and publicly disclose how it plans to manage its network in the future.
