You're speculating that ITIF gets funding from Comcast, and therefore guessing I'm singing Comcast's song. But you don't know whether Comcast actually is an ITIF sponsor, just as you don't know whether Google, Intel, and Microsoft are ITIF sponsors. And then you're speculating again regarding the relationships between sponsors and fellows. Paul, it's obvious you don't know what you're talking about re: Internet regulation policy or the nature of DC think tanks, so why you you just STFU rather than embarrass yourself further?

For the last 9 months or so I've been working part-time with a Washington think tank in an analyst capacity, not as a lobbyist, and not on the Comcast payroll. You neglected to mention that the "think tank" (where I'm from in Houston, we call them lobbys) is funded by Comcast, among other big cable/telecom players.
