Comcast Brings Expert Advice on Internet Safety to Consumers Through Video On Demand and Comcast.net Security Web Page
Comcast Corporation (Nasdaq:CMCSK, CMCSA), the nation’s
leading provider of entertainment, information and communications
products and services, today announced that it is offering Internet
Safety programming on Video On Demand (VOD) and has launched new
consumer resources on its Internet Security Web page www.comcast.net/security.
June is National Internet Safety Month and as the nation’s
leading residential Internet Service Provider, Comcast is committed to
providing a safe and secure online experience for its customers.
"At Comcast we take our responsibility of
delivering a safe, secure and superior online experience for our
customers very seriously,” said Jay Opperman,
Senior Director of Security and Privacy. "We
do this by taking a comprehensive, multi-layered approach to Internet
safety that focuses on identity and privacy protection, family and
parental controls, and safeguards for digital assets. Our goal is to
ensure our customers are provided the means and education to protect
themselves and their families.” VIDEO ON DEMAND
Throughout the month, VOD customers can access a PBS FRONTLINE
documentary called Growing Up Online. The film examines the
effect that the Internet and "digital world”
have on the social and emotional lives of teenagers. Growing Up Online
can be found under "Help & Services”
in the "Hi-Speed Internet”
folder on VOD.
"Comcast’s
inclusion of FRONTLINE’s Growing Up Online
as a free Video On Demand offering throughout the month of June will
provide an opportunity for Comcast viewers to experience the private
worlds that teenagers create online and to understand the real risks and
realities of teen life on the Internet,” say
FRONTLINE Executive Producer David Fanning. "We
hope our film helps to bridge the digital divide between parents and
their increasingly wired teens.” COMCAST.NET SECURITY WEB PAGE

(iKeepSafe), Comcast is providing new resources on www.Comcast.net/security
which will include:
A "For Parents”
page which features content rich tips for parents on Internet Safety
A "For Kids”
page that includes games designed to get kids interested in staying
safe online
A new Frequently Asked Questions section written by Dr. Michael Rich,

Hospital Boston and Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard
Medical School
A downloadable brochure for parents entitled How to Talk to Your
Kids About Internet Safety
An Internet Safety Contract for parents and their children designed to
help families establish an open dialogue about Internet safety and set
ground rules for the use of the Internet both inside and outside of
the home
"It’s wonderful to
see an Internet Service Provider, like Comcast, committed to educating
consumers about how to keep safe on the Internet,”
said Marsali Hancock, president of iKeepSafe. "Comcast
reaches families with important Internet safety messages everyday online
and through cable television.”
In addition to the VOD programming and the new resources on www.Comcast.net/security,
to raise further awareness about Internet safety, Comcast is hosting a
national radio media tour on June 4th to
