Mr Livingood:

Out of curiosity, had Comcast decided to use an "opt-in" instead of
"opt-out" method, did your marketing dept have any idea of percentage of
customer base who would have opted in ?


Secondly, at a more technical level:

In a MDU with a whole bunch of Comcast subscribers, could one router be
able to detect existence of strong Xfinity signals and not enable its
own ? This would reduce crowding of Wi-Fi spectrum.

I take it such a feature would require special programming/firmware by
modem/router manufacturer ?
