Comcast and the Wall Street Shuffle

Source: andyabramson.blogs.com

Om Malik writes about the issues now impacting Comcast where it hurts. On Wall Street.

Comcast is not getting love in too many places these days. The blogosphere, the customer and consumer forums, the Street so their most formidable competitor, Verizon is doing their part to smack, sting and irritate the cable giant.

You will note that Verizon’s other competitor, Cablevision is being left alone for now though as the NY based cable giant seems to be more advanced in the areas Comcast is deficient in, thus less vulnerable to customer defections for FIOS and VoIP as CableVision’s platform seems to be better than Comcast.
