The FCC repeatedly acknowledges within the rules that it doesn't really know what it's doing.
Is that really a problem, though? If you're aware of it... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning–Kruger_effect

Bah, who cares what the FCC thinks? What does Comcast have to say?
OK...loading that in another tab....

If you forced me to make a guess, I would expect Comcast to agree with the parts of the ruling which (they perceive) benefit them, and object to the parts that don't...

Safeway/Comcast found a way to extract rent from Kelloggs/Netflix.
Actually, vendors like Kellogs DO pay companies like Safeway (Dominicks) rent:
Economics of Retail Shelf Space Practices: Slotting fee, slotting allowance, pay-2-stay, pay-4-space… is a fee charged for product placement on retail shelves. The fee varies greatly depending on the product, vendor, market conditions…
In the not-to-distant past, we used to pay for incoming text messages. At least you can refuse to answer incoming calls.
An old friend of mine who ran his own limo business back in the late 80's and through the 90's hated sales calls as he was paying $3/minute to listen to their spiel. He found a way to get most of them off: instead of telling the caller he was the owner, when asked he would say: "That would be Larry." "Can I speak with him?" "You just missed him! He's leaving town on business for a week, won't be back before then." Not only were the calls real short then, they died off after a while. ;-)

If Comcast and Verizon and Frontier are against it, then I'm for it.
I'd vote for cyber-Hitler if Comcast campaigned against him.
“Communism is a drag, man," Lenny Bruce riffed. "It’s like one big telephone company.”
... also how the fuck old are you? The phone monopoly was like 50 years ago.
Comcast won.

I wonder if marketing companies have actually tried to exploit that?
Pay the CEO of Comcast $$$$ to make a long rant about how [your product] is terrible and wrong and should be boycotted. Instant sales increase.

@anonymous234 Or Comcast could pay to a PAC to spread fake news to elect a Nazi?

No, it was Russia that hacked the election to elect a Nazi, get your narrative straight!
And on a non-political note, most marketeers seem to be too far up their own asses to use something like reverse psychology. The closest I've seen was EA hiring some obviously fake "religious protestors" to hype their God of War clone that was based on a tale inspired by retellings of the back of a cereal box parodying Dante's Inferno.

And now we'll never be able to actually confirm that fact, because NodeBB doesn't spy on clicks like that!
