COMCAST FACES ANOTHER PEER-TO-PEER LAWSUIT
[SOURCE: Multichannel News, AUTHOR: Linda Haugsted]
Comcast is the subject of another lawsuit, this time in Washington D.C., alleging the operator falsely advertises that consumers will get “unfettered access” to all Internet content. The potential class-action suit, filed in Superior Court for the District of Columbia, was filed for Dr. Sanford Sidner on behalf of himself and other Comcast's D.C. Internet subscribers. The legal action is similar to one filed last November in Alameda County, Calif, Superior Court by a San Francisco Bay Comcast subscriber, Jon Hart. That suit also seeks class-action status. Sidner, according to his attorneys, Gilbert Randolph LLP, claims that his service frequently stops or slows to a crawl when he uses file-sharing applications.
