Comcast and Circuit City Connect (The Motley Fool)
Comcast and Circuit City Connect (The Motley Fool)
The Motley Fool - Right on the heels of Best Buy's (NYSE: BBY - News) effort to play Santa, comes Comcast (Nasdaq: CMCSA - News) and Circuit City's (NYSE: CC - News)'s new retail collaboration. The two companies plan to open up an electronics boutique called Connect, where consumers can visit for advice on HDTV products and services, and to experience the difference between plasma and LCD screens. Customers can also schedule TV and service installations, similar to what satellite providers like EchoStar (Nasdaq: DISH - News) and DirectTV (NYSE: DTV - News) have done for years via traditional retail stores.
