Comcast welfare

Oh, dear. Om talks up Comcast’s million VoIP customers, which is all fine and good, except that American VoIP continues to be a complete rip-off, whether provided by telcos or cablecos or Vonage.

Om writes:

The growth has been so good that the company is adding 4000 jobs.

Umm, that’s *not* something to be proud of. What are these jobs, lobbyists in DC?

Free, in France, has gone from 0 to 2 million customers, and only employs 1,300 for the entire operation. For Free, Om might write:

The growth has been so good that the company is adding 4000 jobs generating enormous profits that are being reinvested into providing customers with state of the are fiber-optic connections for the same low price of 29.99 euros/month [pdf].

currency watch

Currencies are moving around a lot. The euro conversion to bahts is one that I'm watching since that's where I plan to go on holiday this summer! A place to check this is betacoin, or their page that has a euro conversion calculator.
