As far as one trusts Comcast, of course. Does Microsoft still own 8% or so
(http://www.commondreams.org/headlines04/0320-01.htm) of them? In any case;
if I was really worried about privacy, I would add my own layer of security,
and not rely on my provider to do that for me - regardless of who it is.
