Comcast, Now Blocking Seating at Public Hearings
Could Comcast step into it any deeper? Sure, according to this report, which quotes Comcast as saying it paid people to save places in line for those waiting to attend the FCC hearing at Harvard Monday.
That’s sad enough, but it even went farther, according to Portfolio’s Sam Gustin, who reports:
Some of those placeholders, however, did more than wait in line: They filled many of the seats at the meeting, according to eyewitnesses. As a result, scores of Comcast critics and other members of the public were denied entry because the room filled up well before the beginning of the hearing.
Now that’s network management in real time, eh?
Gotta love the photo! (courtesy of Free Press, which has its own report on the seat-blocking) Gripping stuff, that net neutrality debate.
