I think the "splicing" allegation is that he did it in the phone closet, bypassing normal service delivery which would be to a residence where the service was ordered. The splicing term may also be a journalist's word choice. Essentially, based on the article, they're saying he hooked up his modem someplace he wasn't paying for service, which is somewhat understandably a no-no in Comcast's eyes, though whether they can make the case for suing him is another question. -- Michael Weinberg President Personal Telco Project, Inc.
