Fix East | Tail wags dog..? This is what happens when a company becomes so large that people become numbers to be manipulated for profit.
Customer privacy & security take a backseat to the junior genius in Marketing who comes up with an idea to increase revenue by a few percentage points.
Shame on you Comcast, shame on you!
/oh, and your network has become overrun with bots. |

Fix East | Would you care to expound on that a little?
Are you saying Comcast isn't using the discussed technology? |

I believe it. I don't believe the Comcast exec's attempt to backpedal (see comments in the linked article).
That said, the article at first sounded like these are in the field. Clearly, it had not gone that far.
Meanwhile, I think this whole episode has saved them any further R&D dollars on this technology.

Fix East | Thanks Rob, I just finished reading your post /// BACKPEDAL ALERT /// and was hoping to eat some crow.
Sadly enough, it still seems that Comcast gave this more than a passing thought.
Let's see if the anonymous coward has anything else to add.
Mr. Kunkel? |
