Re: [DNS] Comcast Launches Trial of Domain Helper Service

If you truly are interested in deploying this as something to help your customers then you should consider the superior method of having some client side software (for example, the browser) react to bad domains in a way that is helpful for the customer. That way everyone gets the user experience they expect and you avoid all the negative backlash.

However I'm suspect that this idea is any more than a money grab under the guise of a customer helping tool, since already 99% of the internet users know exactly what to do when they put in a bad domain name. You WILL show your true intentions if there are ANY revenue generating items in the service.

Maybe you should consider doing the same for your voice services. If someone dials any incorrect phone number or maybe one that's not available/busy, you should let it ring into an operator who will offer to help you if you listen to some ads. "I realize you were trying to call Chili's restaurant, may i suggest an olive garden near you?"

Also you should make every channel someone would type into their TV or Cable box, display ads with a little icon suggesting that this is an invalid channel.

You do realize what you have just done, don't you?
