Are Comcast Flacks Scouring the Valley for Fresh Advocates?

Looks like the FTC might have decided Comcast's DoS attack on a Boston net neutrality hearing warrants a rematch:

"The FCC is considering holding a fresh hearing on net neutrality, with Comcast and Verizon again in attendance -- and this time it may be at Stanford. The do-over comes after a mini-scandal erupted over the first hearing, held at Harvard; Comcast flacks confessed they'd paid people off the street to act as seatwarmers. Let this be a lesson to you all: If you're going to meddle in politics, do it skillfully enough not to get caught."
