Re: comcast commercial
Hmmm, hire Lance Armstrong to sell cable to the people who already have it or upgrade existing cable? Doesn't seem like a hard business choice to me. Obviously Comcast has skewed priorities which isn't a good indication of things to come  |

| unfortunately 90% of the people who pay comcast for some service or other are going to have a better opinion of comcast due to the Lance Armstrong association alone; most people could care less that all of a sudden there's contractors all over the place running fiber as long as their tv has a half decent picture. Besides, whatever they paid him probably isn't even a drop in the bucket compared to what they'll end up paying to fix all the stuff AT&T left them.
BTW: I noticed a quite a few contractors running fiber all of a sudden in my travels today, so it looks like they're doing something; at least in the eastern subburbs of Pittsburgh.
