HAVE YOU HEARD? KEVIN MARTIN DISLIKES COMCAST
[SOURCE: Multichannel News, AUTHOR: Ted Hearn]
[Commentary] Federal Communications Commission chairman Kevin Martin dragged his agency all the way to Harvard Law School last Monday to make the same point he’s made in just about every U.S. ZIP code: He dislikes and distrusts Comcast. The Harvard session was billed a as discussion on broadband network-management practices. Instead, Martin turned it into a federally sanctioned sandbagging of the country’s largest cable company. It didn’t take deep packet inspection to notice that the witness table was stacked against Comcast. Martin, for example, filled three of six seats on the second (and last) panel with cable-bashers from MIT. Martin’s assault on fair play, performed in broad daylight, was just astounding. One can only imagine what goes on at the Internal Revenue Service and the FBI on days when someone there decides it’s vendetta time. Martin’s idea of striking a balance was to line up Comcast executive vice president David Cohen against six Comcast-hostile witnesses. Introductory comments in support of net neutrality were spoken by Rep. Edward Markey (D-Mass.) and were later echoed by FCC Democrats Michael Copps and Jonathan Adelstein.
