Well, they admitted to it:
»www.portfolio.com/news-markets/t···Strategy
So let's see, they:
* Publicly admit to paying people to fill seats (for whatever reason -- don't care what the "truth" is here, the fact that any company would PAY MONEY to fill spots is atrocious)
* ...but won't admit to sending spoofed TCP RST packets both directions (to source and destination)
* ...won't admit to even using Sandvine equipment
* ...despite someone apparently seeing Sandvine boxes in the trash bins (why not recycling bins, dammit?!?!) outside of a facility
* ...but depending on who you ask at Comcast, WILL admit to owning Sandvine equipment
180 degrees... And the beat goes on... NO MORE QUESTIONS!!

| Maybe they were saving seats for the Comcast Monk & Jesus (just in case). You never know if they might show up to enlighten people(and pass out Kool-Aid). 
Apparently the FCC chairs are refusing to cash Comcast's checks so they have to use that money some where. 
You'd think any "high-end" Comcast employee who wanted to attend the meeting would be there well in advance and would not need a seat-warmer.  |

You should know by now, most corporations won't admit to anything... especially without going through PR and Lawyers first.

I guess CEO Brian Roberts will now have to reassure Comcast stock holders again that the company is not engaging in wasteful spending. Someone should also update the list of Comcast controversies on wikipedia. |

Wow.
I wonder if anyone could manage to get copies of the paperwork they were distributing to these scabs.

So.... Question.... Would it be legal for someone to hire people to dial Comcast's phone #'s over and over non-stop all day and download their website over and over so that no customers could get through to order their services and their website would be choked down and overloaded?
I'm sure Comcast would throw a fit about that!
