speculate what this new approach proposed by Comcast might be, as they
assert it would represent "a significant shift of Internet infrastructure."

Well, their previous proposal was already representing quite a
significant shift, and not in a good way, but I wonder what the new

I hope due to the speculative nature of the question it will not be
considered off-topic.
