Comcast to Pay FCC Fine Over Broadband Offering

Comcast Corp. agreed to pay $800,000 to settle a Federal Communications Commission complaint that it didn't offer stand-alone Internet service to consumers as agreed when it acquired control of NBCUniversal. An FCC investigation found that Comcast service representatives weren't adequately informing consumers that they had an option to purchase only broadband service of at least six megabits per second for $49.95.
