“GM’s chief is pushing for higher gas taxes”

Maybe it’s time to sell my Chevy and buy from a company that doesn't want to raise taxes on me.

Comcast gets into the home security business.
Comcast has announced another service called XFINITY HOME SECURITY SERVICE. The software behind this service is provide to Comcast by iControl Networks. According to the release the new home security service provided by Comcast offers the following features that include an interactive, easy-to-use touch screen security panel, for dual-mode broadband and cellular connectivity to the Central Monitoring Station, video monitoring, lighting control, custom text and email alerts, 24/7 monitoring, thermostat control, remote arm/disarm. You can read the press release at the following link; http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/icontrol-networks-powers-comcasts-xfinity-home-security-service-123536259.html
iControl might want to watch out for Apple computer because of the simple fact that they use i in their name. Apple might sue over trade mark infringement, either that or offer to buy them out so that they can get the name. On Comcast’s part are they going to start offering quad play? A quad range of services for one low monthly fee? Another avenue for them to try and make money out of the cable pipes.

Comcast is sitting on allot of wireless spectrum..

My personal feeling is that Comcast will use the spectrum. It has it just has not announced it’s plans yet. Otherwise why would they hire a wireless exec like they did in 2008?
