I have seen the future and it is Comcast. No, really! Comcast is staging one of the biggest brand renaissance comebacks ever. I predict it will be right up there with Apple, GM, Marvel, and Lego. Personally, I would add my favorite, Delta Airlines, in the “comeback kid” category. Now, for the backstory.
