Situational/real world situation comment.
Take the scenario where Comcast never allowed HBO Go access on PS3 and more recently PS4. Do these rules apply to that?
That's the kind of stuff real consumers are interested in.

So that has more to do with television than internet regulation IMO.
I can login to HBO GO with my Comcast account on PC just fine, always have been able to.
Even though it is a service provided over the internet, what Comcast is doing (or, more precisely, delaying or failing to do) is in their role as a Cable TV service provider, not as a broadband ISP.
Now, once HBOs streaming service that is independent of a TV contract is available, if Comcast were blocking that (whether generally or on a device-specific basis), these rules would apply to that blocking.
