Attn. Stanford students, Palo Alto street peeps: FCC Comcast Torrent-thwart hearing to Stanford?

Valleywag is hearing that a "do-over" of yesterday's net neutrality-overlayed FCC hearing about Comcast's thwarting of Torrent packets may be headed to the campus of Stanford University in Palo Alto.I wonder how happy Comcash will be to face the citizenry's champion of net neutrality and reasonable copyright.

Valleywag is hearing that a "do-over" of yesterday's net neutrality-overlayed FCC hearing about Comcast's thwarting of Torrent packets may be headed to the campus of Stanford University in Palo Alto.

I wonder how happy Comcash will be to face the citizenry's champion of net neutrality and reasonable copyright. I am talking about Larry Lessig, praise be unto him. Being a Stanford prof. he presumably could walk to such a hearing.

BTW at yesterday's hearing Comcast admitted they hired several dozen people off the street to pack the seats.

I wonder if Comcast will try that stunt in Palo Alto. I often glimpse plenty of unemployed grad students walking and cycling along and hear University Avenue.
