<description><![CDATA[AquaSport posted : okay, say they plant one of those little metal cat-carriers in someone's front yard. Say that the person is a frail elderly man, and he trips over the carrier and breaks his hip. Comcast will pay for:<br><br>the broken hip<br><br>his pain and suffering<br><br>invasion of the man's private property<br><br>RIGHT?!<br><br>also, the elderly man would have a lawsuit against the Comcast company, and he'd probably win, too... i'm hoping.<br><br>...........<br><br>Why can't Comcast just put these little safety hazards in the middle of the sidewalk, like at&t does? It'd be a lot better - green contrasted with the paste-white sidewalk - especially when compared with having a green, metal box installed in my front LAWN (also green), being a GIGANTIC safety hazard, and I'd also be so angry that they wouldn't hear the end of it, even after they removed the box.<br><br><b>What are those boxes for, anyhow?</b><br><br>In my area (relatively near Santa Rosa; hoping I won't get those soon also), we have sets of (2) metal boxes (averaging the size of those green comcast boxes) that have some company name on them - installed up on the telephone poles - as well as slim, silver boxes installed on practically every pole where the 2 large, grey, metal boxes aren't installed (about 1 every square block - maybe more often).<br><br><i>Some of the lines (cable, phone, electricity) are underground in our area, and I haven't seen any of those tiny green Comcast cabinets, although, on the other hand, i've seen one at&t DSL file-cabinet bolted to the sidewalk nearby.</i><br><br>"how lovely!"<br><small>--<br>Out with the old, in with the Antique! :)<br>***********<br>"Hey, have you heard the song... 'Bomb Iran?' *bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, Ir...* n - never mind..." - John McCain</small>]]></description>
