[Hidden-tech] Privacy and Comcast / Xfinity Wi-Fi

[Zach Fried, LPP LLC]

Comcast customers (and folks in general) should be aware that, as pointed
out, Comcast shares the customer's cable internet service via their
wireless modems (typically rented to the consumer at $10/month).

On the other side of the coin, wi-fi users using the ubiquitous
"xfinitywifi" networks should also know that Comcast injects code into web
pages they view. Such code has greater capabilities than the typical
"cookie" and is thus could considered a second major privacy concern:
