Another myth bites the dust...

People need to remember that Apple is still just a hardware company in the core... Selling hardware is always the first priority... software, web stuff, data protection are all secondary. Just like Sony never famous for their "data protection" 😛

Good to know. I like it when companies stand up for their customers.

I'm not defending Apple, but in the full report it's saying Comcast is better because Apple because they defending a client in court with their data rights but when Congress tries to change privacy laws they did nothing whilst Apple sent their lawyers (not a huge loss considering they have an army of them) to defend their users. Not saying either of them are good, but don't make Comcast out to be this changed angel company because they beat the all-not-so-powerful Apple in half a category haha.

I would of classed apple as a Software / Design company. I get what your saying tho its all about selling hardware. However they don't actually make much.

Should the fact that Verizon is dead last (no stars) be more of a news event? After all Verizon is an ISP and Mobile carrier and has access to MUCH more data than Apple does.

STravis it doesnt surprise me at all that Verizon is dead last. I worked for them until last monday (4/29).
