Pardon my ignorance here but what does Comcast do for the NANOG community?
I know they attend many conferences and share their experiences with a lot
of us which is very much appreciated...
Just asking ;)

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.
