"Comcast is also setting a new standard for the broadband/cable industry - now with an expanded retail presence spanning nearly 5,000 retail locations nationwide," Faught continued.

"By offering Comcast's leading products and services in more than 1,800 RadioShack stores, we are continuing our tradition of providing consumers with the best selection of products and services to fulfill their consumer electronics needs," said Jim Hamilton, senior vice president, chief merchandising officer for RadioShack Corporation.
