Comcast issued its Q4 05 earnings today and during the analysts call (replay should be available here), CEO Brian Roberts said the company hasn’t held any discussions with content providers about charging “two-tiered” Internet access fees.
We have not had any discussions with content providers related to any charges directly from such providers.
To be clear, Comcast doesn’t like the whole net neutrality push, and Roberts said that he wants to make sure that Comcast will always have the right to manage its network in the way that it deems best. But, “We continue to believe that proponents of net neutrality are seeking a solution in search of a problem,” Roberts said. “We don’t believe this is the right policy.”

Nonsense. So long as Verizon and AT&T are willing to throw themselves in front of the bus there is no need for Comcast to join in.
They're thinking the same way too.
