“In the industry, Comcast has the most advanced products and services keeping customers connected to their daily lives and more people should understand why they’re so much better off having all of them,” Gieselman said. “When you also think about the incredible global assets of Comcast NBCUniversal, there’s no shortage of creative ways we can drive our connectivity businesses. I loved competing in this category for over a decade so all I can say to my friends and former colleagues is look out, we’re coming.”
