Who could have predicted this from the rat’s nest that is Washington, D.C.?
Republican Federal Communications Commission commissioner Meredith Attwell Baker is planning to leave the agency for a job at Comcast Corp., according to people with knowledge of the matter.
Ms. Baker is expected to announce her departure as soon as this week for an unknown position at the Philadelphia-based cable giant. Comcast declined to comment, a company spokeswoman said.
Ms. Baker did not respond to several emails and phone calls for comment.
[…] Baker’s move to Comcast comes just four months after she voted, along with three of the agency’s other FCC commissioners, to approve Comcast’s $13.75 billion deal to acquire control of NBC Universal from General Electric Co.
My Comcast broadband has developed a habit of going off from around noon until 5 or 6 o’clock. Does anybody know what that might be about? My theory is that somebody is coming to work about then and screwing around with it at the head-end and going home at 5.
