Some truth about Comcast - WikiLeaks style

Thu Dec 16 17:53:28 UTC 2010

Earlier this morning a Comcast peering manager had the following things to say about the recent NANOG thread, in a public IRC channel with many witnesses:

my management is pretty disgusted with the badmouthing and accusation slinging on nanog.org btw
the demands to disclose confidential data on the blog aren't helping either
the budget for hosting will be impacted I guarantee because it came out of folks who are being hassled's budget
there is a meeting today to discuss the value of supporting the NANOG community

Apparently Comcast's support and sponsorship of NANOG has actually been a ploy to buy our silence, and if we keep talking poorly of them they're going to cut off the funding. Shhhhh don't tell anyone.
