Of course comcast's accounts aren't "server" accounts, because who'd pay $50+/mo for a server with a whopping 384kbs upload speed?
If comcast isn't setting user upload/download limits (or if users aren't going over their set limits), then why do they care what their users are doing?
Bittorrent has been a huge resource for non-profit/open-source groups to get their software into the hands of the public. Otherwise, their server bills would be entirely cost-prohibitive.
Also, that article is an editorial piece. Until comcast responds, or they show their data, I still think it's a lot of hype. I've never had a single problem with a bittorrent upload on my comcast connection, and if I start having problems, I've already got a solution ready (ssh tunnel through my webhost for seeding. I've got 2.6TB of bandwidth/mo. Might as well use some of it).
