Comcast Corp. said late Wednesday it would award special bonuses to thousands of employees based on tax overhaul measures and the Federal Communications Commission’s decision to scrap so-called net neutrality rules. Comcast said it would award more than 100,000 eligible employees a special $1,000 bonus each, and to invest more than $50 billion in infrastructure over the next five years. Last week, the FCC voted to roll back Obama-era regulations for internet service providers. Earlier Wednesday, AT&T Inc. said it would pay $1,000 bonuses to more than 200,000 employees if President Donald Trump signed a tax overhaul bill into law before Christmas. Comcast shares were unchanged at $39.38 after hours.
