That's an interesting supposition. It would probably make sense for them to spin it off in some way.
Some of their holdings, like Comcast Spectacor (which owns the Comcast SportsNet channels - along with the Flyers) might be a natural fit to be spun off like this. I wouldn't be surprised if that's their plan.
With all the push coming from the FCC and from Congress on net neutrality and with prohibitions about favoring your content over other companies content, spinning off an arms-length content company could give Comcast the flexibility they need if deals are made that have provisions favoring content from some companies over other companies. -- My BLOG .. ..
