A few hours before Republican FCC chairman Kevin "Kevvy" Martin officially lost his job — he launched an investigation into whether Comcast is deliberately degrading rival phone services.
The WSJ says:

A Comcast spokeswoman said the company has "fully complied" with the FCC's order regarding so-called congestion-management practices. "We are reviewing the FCC staff's letter," she said.
