"Comcast manages its network with one goal: to deliver the best possible broadband Internet experience to all of its customers. High-speed bandwidth and network resources are not unlimited."
That quote from the article sounds they have the Public Relations and/or Lawyers writing the TOS now?

| I am no defender of Lawyers or Comcast. However, your comment about lawsuits and lawyers does require some clarification. First, corporations file far more lawsuits than individuals. So, if sue happy refers to companies suing each other and their customers (a very strange policy but all too common), then you are correct. If you are referring to consumers suing companies, then you are following the Insurance industry line. Please do some research on both sides of this issue and you will find that there is ample evidence that it is companies that are sue happy and not consumers.
Yes, law schools do produce far too many lawyers. The result however is not as bad as one might expect. I do not have current statistics, but I believe that close to 50% of law school graduates are practicing law after five years. So, it is the law students (and their parents in many cases) who pay the price for too many lawyers.

Just as there are too many B schools "pumping" out too many MBAs and generating too many marketing morons and white collar CEO criminals. |

Really? You don't see the connection.
Just think about it a minute, I'm sure you'll figure it out.
