Comcast’s VP tries to backtrack on data capping statements

Comcast Executive Vice President David Cohen has come out against a statement he made earlier in the week about the future of Comcast broadband and data usage caps. While Cohen emphasized that there are “no plans to announce a new data usage policy,” the real truth is that you should expect data caps from more ISPs than just Comcast in the future. Cohen, perhaps the most publicly visible Comcast executive and lobbyist, who has been defending the nation’s largest cable company on several fronts in recent months, talked to industry analyst Craig Moffett earlier this week about data usage cap.
