I'm very suspicious of Comcast too. They've had hostile policies in their Internet management for as long as I can remember, going back to the days they'd forge RST packets because they didn't like customers using BitTorrent. OTOH as the article says, 'Joining Mozilla's program means that Comcast agreed that it won't "retain, sell, or transfer to any third party (except as may be required by law) any personal information, IP addresses, or other user identifiers, or user query patterns from the DNS queries sent from the Firefox browser'. I assume Mozilla will audit and keep Comcast honest here, or at least try. I just am left wondering what loophole Comcast has found.

>I assume Mozilla will audit and keep Comcast honest here, or at least try. I just am left wondering what loophole Comcast has found. HAHAHAHAHAHA OH YOU ARE FUNNY. Sorry. Comcast will use the same loophole they use with everyone else. Kafkaesque policies aren't just for their customers, they exist throughout the organization. Took me 6 months to get a Secure VPN link that -they- insisted we use to set up their files. And 3 months of that was just getting the password reset. The account was locked because it wasn't being used (first 3 months was them fighting with firewall configs)... But then we were in this loop of they would reset the password, but the person who had to TELL us the password was reset would take so long to do so that it expired again by the time we got it. So, extrapolating to here, my guess is that any sort of audit will take forever to get data, probably incomplete sets... you get the picture.
