Comcast is paying for transit to these unis, right?

I hope our money aren't being used to fund this private enterprise!

All of these universities should ensure that Comcast pays interconnection fees.

Or is Comcast trying to free-load on our public networks?

The places that were picked first most likely already lease fiber from Comcast enterprise. There would be fiber connected directly to Comcast inside of the building already so adding another 10G link for this service probably requires a couple of patch cables. They could do it over coax maybe but I'd guess it's most likely on fiber.

The offer they gave us pretty much had Comcast dropping off a 10GB link and interconnecting with us. Not much more was said.
