Comcast hasn't provided any information because the fund has yet to be created.

Gina, that link does not work. The fact that Comcast hasn't given any real information on HOW black media companies can actually APPLY for these funds shows that maybe this is just another smokescreen.

Smoke and mirrors. They're handing out a little to gain a lot.

A trillion dollars in seed funding for *content* (!) wouldn't be enough money to allow Comcast to maintain their monopoly over cable television and broadband. They'll remain as gatekeepers under their proposal; in the long term that's a losing proposition for consumers, and especially, Af-Am consumers.
