Comcast turns 50 [Comcast Roundup]

“Someone described Comcast, a contraction of communications and broadcasting, as a 50-year-old start-up. ‘That’s the vibe I want,’ [CEO Brian] Roberts said. ‘What has been amazing about Comcast is our ability to reinvent ourselves.'”

  • After 50 years, Comcast still looks forward [Philadelphia Inquirer] “Someone described Comcast, a contraction of communications and broadcasting, as a 50-year-old start-up. ‘That’s the vibe I want,’ [CEO Brian] Roberts said. ‘What has been amazing about Comcast is our ability to reinvent ourselves.'”
  • Inquirer Celebrates Comcast’s Birthday [Philadelphia Magazine] PhillyMag’s take on the Inquirer piece: “…the Inquirer has written one of the most flattering pieces on Comcast I can imagine the company has garnered…”
  • Do you want to pay extra for data? Then Comcast has a deal for you [Ars Technica] “Comcast will start enforcing a 300GB data cap in Atlanta next month, with overages resulting in extra charges of $10 for each additional 50GB. The move expands the list of cities subject to Comcast’s data overage charges.”
