FCC publishes voluntary code of ISP conduct to combat botnets

http://j.mp/GIsOje  (ars technica)

   "The Federal Communication Commission, working with communications
    companies including Verizon, Cox, and Comcast, passed a voluntary code
    on Thursday that spells out the steps participating ISPs must take to
    combat botnets. Those same companies, along with CenturyLink, AT&T,
    Sprint, and Time Warner Cable, have already committed to follow the
    code, comprising a customer base that accounts for at least half of
    all US-based Internet subscribers."
