Dave Winer Pays Comcast 3 Million Dollars

        And you thought YOUR cable bill was high; <a href="http://www.scripting.com/2006/01/27.html#When:9:56:29AM">Dave got a receipt from Comcast for $3,030,000.00</a>. He <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/scriptingnews/91782169/">posted a screenshot to Flickr</a>.<br /><br />Not a bill, but a statement showing he paid that much. Comcast claims it was a glitch. I'm sure we've all had something like this happen to us at one time or another - remember my recent travails with Verizon, with their order system repeatedly insisting that I didn't exist as a customer?<br /><br />Sure, we may just sigh, and roll our eyes, or laugh, but Dave makes an important point:<br /><blockquote>I asked for a refund. The operator laughed. I said it was not funny.

This crazy system we’re building is going to melt down one day.Amen!
