What it does say is that Comcast is trying to implement a pricing model for their Internet service similar to their existing cable TV service. To begin with, you are expected to be a consumer only. This service exists to deliver content into your home, not the other way around.

Second, that "cost is $6.95 per month for each additional outlet" thing is practically lifted straight out of their cable TV policies. It doesn't matter if they do the wiring or if you do, if you use a cable box or a cable-ready TV. If you have two television sets, Comcast expects you to pay extra for the "extra outlet" servicing the second TV, even though you're not fundamentally getting anything extra from Comcast at all. At one point they claimed they had technology which could detect if you were running an unauthorized set, but I've never heard of anyone getting "busted" (goodness knows I never have ).

What this tells me, though, is that they are at least toying with the idea of implementing the same asinine policy with regard to computers on their Internet service.
