- Yea...Thankfully I don't have Comcast, but I really hope it is forced to change some of its policies soon. As for holding seats, I think I'd have have to agree with Iamna about it being normal for employee's to not want to stand in line for long periods of time.

- This was on craigslist, I remember that day my fiance was going to do it! I had no idea... Two men apparently sleeping during an F.C.C. hearing at Harvard on Monday. Comcast acknowledged that it paid some people off the street to hold places in line for its employees, but denied they took seats in the hearing room. Photograph courtesy of: Free Press Comcast Corporation Class A (CMCSA) Industry: Media and Publishing Summary: The Company is a cable operator in the United States and offers a variety of entertainment and communications products and services. How big are the stakes in the so-called network neutrality debate now raging before Congress and federal regulators? Consider this: One side in the debate actually went to the trouble of hiring people off the street to pack a Federal Communications Commission meeting yesterday--and effectively keep some of its opponents out of the room.

- Oye... Companies and Organizations (and the lobbyists that represent them) have been doing this for a looooong time on Capitol Hill, and its considered normal. Its not a "tactic", its just employees not wanting to wait in line for hours before the Hearing (which probably effects their jobs, so YEAH they'll want to show up)
Its not like they made the event inaccessible: The press was obviously present, for this story to make it on the web.

- From the page: "Such tactics are not unheard of at congressional hearings in Washington, D.C., but Comcast's critics said that they were inappropriate for a public hearing on a college campus."
Yeah, that sort of thing is fine in government, but c'mon! - From the page: "Such tactics are not unheard of at congressional hearings in Washington, D.C., but Comcast's critics said that they were inappropriate for a public hearing on a college campus."

- Ah, Comcast, you're so amazingly honest. First denying throttling allegations, now this.
