Every Thursday morning, find all the stories you need to know about your friendly telecommunications giant in the Comcast Roundup.
It isn’t true, so you really ought to stop saying it.
That’s the crux of a cease and desist letter that Verizon Communications has sent to Comcast in response to the telecommunications giant’s series of advertisements called “Don’t Fall for FiOS,” in which, among other claims, Comcast calls a triple-play-like service for bundle from Verizon $400 more expensive per year than the ‘Cast’s version, as reported Tuesday by the Inquirer’s Bob Fernandez.
“Verizon’s been running a negative campaign against Comcast for years and its response to our campaign shows that they can dish it out but they can’t take it,” a Comcast spokeswoman says.
Boys and girls, that fight is getting as mean spirited as Boost and Cricket. Get more details in Bob’s story.
After the jump, Comcast reports to the FCC, a mildly awkward Comcast interview on Web teen safety and four other stories that would interest any Comcast-head.
In order of importance for your ease:
