I don't know. I'm reading it differently. I'm reading it in a way that almost any other entity with the power to execute on a term like that probably would - liberally and with deference to their own interpretation of lawful. Not too mention the 100% murky scope of requests and behests of government.

I read that the wire is owned by Comcast. Its agents roam free and everything traversing that wire is monitored. 100%.

If you're going to read the language non-sensically, why even bother to point to the text? Why not just make up whatever you want?

The numbering and the "and" clearly mean that one of the two endpoints must be "Comcast and its agents." The language is there to allow them to record customer service calls because otherwise in some states that would be a violation of wiretap consent laws.

I think this language could allow for Comcast to monitor any traffic passing through their proxies?

I agree that it seems to be worded to imply that it's just CS monitoring but I don't believe that `transmitted between` would necessitate that the party be the intended endpoint.
