Comcast Biz Goes to Bat for the Nationals

The Washington Nationals baseball team has selected Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) Business Ethernet services for a multi-year contract to connect its staff, members of the media, and fans to the Internet. Nationals Park has now added a fiber-based Ethernet connection from Comcast capable of delivering up to 1 Gbps. The new connection is intended to allow fans to order food and beverages via a website from their wireless devices. The Ethernet line is also used as the backbone for all Internet traffic originating from the ballpark's WiFi network and supports the press box, as well as video and information feeds for its 4,811-square-foot HD video board in right field.
