On Monday April 20th, Comcast was the subject of a FCC hearing on network neutrality at the Harvard Law School in Cambridge, Massachusetts.  The hearing was held to address complaints leveled by Free Press, Public Knowledge, the web-video company Vuze, and others, that Comcast is trying to stifle competition by blocking the delivery of rival video-on-demand services over its cable system.

Comcast ‘stacked the deck’ by packing the room with local employees, and admits that they PAID NON-EMPLOYEES TO ARRIVE EARLY AND HOLD A PLACE for Comcast personnel.  But then they try to tell us that these PAID SHILLS decided to stay and take up seats and oxygen in the room which resulted in hundreds of legitimate would be attendees being turned away.  Here are some of the RINGERS.

A number of people in the audience wore yellow highlighter marking pens on their shirts or jackets to identify them to Comcast employees coordinating the company’s appearance at the event. Comcast admits that they coordinated the employees that it brought to the hearing.

So, what exactly is Comcast so worried about?  Could it be that they feel that the FCC might actually listen to the PUBLIC? 

Comcast spokeswoman Jennifer Khoury wishes that she said “Those guys that are sleeping over there…they don’t belong to us.  Now that guy on their LEFT wearing the leather jacket that is staring down the camera man with a look that says ‘If you snap that picture I’ll feed your liver to my doberman’…now THAT’S OUR GUY, so quit asking me questions and don’t F*&K WITH COMCAST.”

Comcast BUSTED for blocking peer-to-peer traffic

Read the full story from PC World The bottom line is that until the FCC regulations catch up with the state of the art and there is no distinction between voice and data, these shenanigans will continue.
