That will be a great move for comcast. But if they are going to do that they would need to have a programme schedule at the least. I mean we are in the 21 century for crying out loud.

Nothing is predictable in Nigeria....that's probably what is affecting the schedule thing.

I'm sure comcast will have a schedule, but its up to AIT to keep to schedule as u've said we're in the 21st century.

This is great news although we don't get Comcast down south.

At least it is progress. What is next - civilization finally makes its way to Nigeria? I very much hope so - it is not impossible.

Where in the south do you live because here in ATL, Comcast is it as far as cable companies are concern.
