Spent time talking personal and professional. He is a Comcast fan but shared not sure if they will be able to move forward with a CB solution right now. Can realize immediate savings with incumbent via a simple contract renewal. Will take 6-9 months to start to see savings with Comcast and it will be another disruption to the site. Team should work thru this quickly to position against his cost of change hesitations.
