Comcast obstructs public hearing

So to prevent the government from doing their job and holding open pubic hearings on the subject of net neutrality, Comcast packed the hearing with employees and paid space-takers thus preventing the public from gaining access and taking part. Story here and here.
Comcast is under a subpoena from New York's attorney general claiming it interfered with the Internet traffic of video competitors. Federal public hearings were held yesterday to explore what Comcast did, and what effect those actions could have on the users and businesses that are it’s customers.
Comcast apparently does not want to have those users and business owners able to make their concerns known to regulators.

This is of interest to anyone creating content for eventual distribution on the Internet (pretty much everyone in my business now.)
