The key is that Comcast does not stream its conent to nomn Cable TV subscribers. If it did, it would bea violation, but this just seems like an alternative way of accessing Cable TV, which still needs to compete with Netflix/etc on price and content.

You need to be a Comcast subscriber to use their iPad app, but they don't have to prioritize traffic or exempt it from bandwidth limits for it to work.

Can a comcast Cable TV subscriber stream comcast content when they are not using their comcast line? Does it matter if they can?
