Passport to Paris offers a first-of-its-kind “watch to unlock” capability for Xfinity Rewards members who watch select live coverage of the Olympics on NBCUniversal’s broadcast and cable networks, as well as streaming on Peacock, with digital passport stamps commemorating the events. Customers will unlock bigger and better rewards the more they watch and interact, and earn stamps in their digital passport through interactive quizzes and polls, which can be redeemed for rewards online or in the app. As an added benefit, the first 20,000 participants will unlock a limited-edition Olympic Games Paris 2024 pin and passport stamp: a platform first for pairing digital and physical rewards.

“One of the great benefits of being a Xfinity Rewards member is exclusive access to new products and features like Passport to Paris,” said Pooja Kapadia, Vice President of Customer Loyalty and Rewards. “The Paris Olympics are a great opportunity to create a first-of-its-kind experience centered around the most anticipated event of the year.”

Passport to Paris is easily accessible through The Olympics hub on Xfinity X1. Scanning a QR code will drive customers to the Xfinity Rewards portal where they can activate the experience and start playing. Xfinity Rewards is free for Xfinity customers. Sign up is easy and fast in the Xfinity App or online at .

Passport to Paris joins a host of other new and functionality Xfinity is rolling out for The Olympic Games, including enhanced 4K, interactive athlete experiences, personalized playlists, and more. It’s all part of a growing list of platform enhancements aimed at capturing the shifting landscape in entertainment and sports.

“We believe the home’s largest screen will evolve to meet the needs of the customer, which is why we’re building and testing new features such as Passport to Paris that embrace all the momentum in live sports, and strategically set the stage for new opportunities in e-commerce and blockchain enabled collecting,” said Piers Lingle, Senior Vice President, Emerging Product and Technology at Comcast. “We see a wide-open opportunity to leverage the power of our Entertainment OS platform to inject more interaction into the TV experience in contextual and simple ways.”

What Policies Matter to Telco’s Success: Supply Side or Demand Side? ...

T CEO John Stankey recently said that “I’ve never seen federal policy this supportive of market-based investment in advanced networks.” That statement raises multiple interesting investor related questions about what does, and does not, support investment in advanced networks, including the relative importance of those policies that drive supply and those that drive demand, and how government is treating advanced networks versus networks that have lower cost structures but also involve lower pe...

CMCSA: The value unlock trade? Nope. No major change in fundamentals

We shared our view of Comcast’s results this morning. Results were in line and commentary on the business fundamentals were mostly unchanged. In this note following the earnings call and our follow-up conversations, we address the following key investor issues including 1) the big picture value unlock theory; 2) the newly (apparently) amended VZ MVNO agreement; 3) broadband ARPU growth; 4) Connectivity EBITDA growth; 5) 2026 capital spend; 6) wireless net adds, and 7) 2026 FCF.

CMCSA 4Q25 Quick Take: Results mostly in line; Waiting to hear what’s ...

Comcast’s results were mostly in line with estimates. Broadband losses and ARPU were in line. On the call, we would be keen to hear about subscriber trends in 1Q. We don’t expect any major changes to the stock price based on these results. What will drive the stock today is commentary on 1Q broadband trends and potential ‘value unlock’ from an NBCU spin.

Can CMCSA Buy CHTR After the Cox Deal is Done?

With the CHTR/Cox deal moving towards approval and CMCSA out of running for WBD, we are again getting questions as to whether CMCSA could buy the combined CHTR/Cox entity. Further, as our New Street colleagues discussed yesterday, there has been a divergence in the stock price performances of Comcast and Charter driven by a potential ‘value unlock’ resulting from a potential split of Comcast cable from NBCU. It is beyond the scope of our expertise to analyze the financial details that could jus...

CMCSA: Potential Value Unlock?

Investors have been asking about the diverging stock price performance between Comcast and Charter. We believe the reason is an expanding conversation about the potential ‘value unlock’ that could emerge were Comcast to split its cable and NBCU businesses. In this note, we estimate what Comcast could be worth were this scenario to play out. To be clear, we are skeptical. Not that it shouldn’t happen, but rather the Roberts’ are too invested in their belief about the synergy between these entitie...
