Comcast Case & Cocktail Party Conversation
The Federal Circuit Court of Appeals heard a patent infringement feud involving cable giant Comcast on Friday and I was psyched to attend. Why? Because the cases I regularly cover don't typically make for sparkling cocktail party conversation.
Intellectual property legal battles frequently involve high-profile tech and telecom firms but are obscure and technologically sophisticated. This morning's case, while incredibly dense, focused on Comcast Digital Voice, the company's Internet telephony offering.
The two-year-old service, which recently surpassed three million subscribers, is the focus of a nationwide TV advertising blitz. The witty commercials, like the one shown above, air relentlessly in Washington. So, folks will "get" what I'm talking about -- at least in part. Plus, I couldn’t resist posting video of a goofy looking guy tattooed like a tiger.
See Technology Daily's PM Edition for coverage of the case.
