They have a heavy hand when it comes to censoring comments though. Here is what happened when I tried to comment on the "SmartZone" post asking for suggestions:


"Hey Joe,


We won't be posting your comment, "I would love it if you added a bandwidth meter to our homepage on Comcast.net (for cable internet subscribers). This was promised in January, what happened to it?" on the SmartZone post because it is off topic (see our blog rules here: [www.comcastvoices.com]).


That being said, I thought I would answer your question. We are still working on the bandwidth meter and we don't have a firm launch date as of yet. The main focus, at the moment, is making sure it doesn't have any bugs that might lead to incorrect bandwidth usage reports.


Thanks,
Scott"


Still, I appreciate the fact that they gave me a (vague) answer.

I think this plan makes a lot of sense. I hope it will be successful, because the alternatives are not very nice (i.e., nationalization). Pearlstein has a good article on this in this morning's WashPost.
