 He drank the Kool-Aid

"The congressional policy and agency practice of relying on the marketplace instead of regulation to maximize consumer welfare has been proven by experience (including the Comcast customer experience) to be enormously successful," Cohen says.

Is he serious? We're rapidly falling behind the world in speed, yet rapidly overtaking all comers for the prices we pay, yet the experience has been enormously successful? He must mean it's been an enormously successful way to screw consumers and pad his bank account.

As far as padding his bank account; you'll say what ever your employer wants you to say as well as long as you get that pay check; just like everyone one else. I'm sure he doesn't want to lose his job or even his nice fancy million dollar home. and you wouldn't prolly wanna lose those either.

I don't know about you, but my integrity isn't for sale at any price. I guess some people love money too much. Although, that seems to be the norm for business in America. Say whatever it takes to get the all mighty dollar.

I'm convinced that theirs isn't either -- it just has a different definition. In their world, plausible deniability not only masks a sin, it wipes it away.

There's this old addage, I don't have to run faster than the dog, just faster than you. As long as there is ATT around Comcast has no worries about being the slowest on the block

Actually, he helps make the Kool-Aid. Then convinces regulators, the press, and the public to suck it down.
