Comcast just gets lamer and lamer.

Jump

Comcast acknowledges that it hired people to take up room at an F.C.C. hearing into its practices.

"A number of people in the audience wore yellow highlighter marking pens on their shirts or jackets; Karr said that was to identify them to Comcast employees coordinating the company's appearance at the event. Khoury acknowledged that Comcast coordinated the employees that it brought to the hearing.

The revelation that Comcast paid nonemployees to stand in line at the hearing comes against the backdrop of a bitter public relations war between Comcast and its critics, including the public interest groups Free Press and Public Knowledge."

It doesn't matter how many seats are filled in the hearings. It's about how much money our "elected" officials can get from Comcast to make this go away.

It's not going away. The FCC has already stated they are ready to step in and stop it.
