Comcast has to actively enforce against ISPs or network providers.
Comcast the ISP doesn't have to actively enforce against Comcast brand tires or Comcast brand coffee.
A lot of people are confused about this, and big companies use "we have to actively enforce" as an excuse to crush companies in unrelated fields. But you don't.
