Comments on news posted 2009-08-28 13:40:37: Back in December of 2007, the FCC passed a rule saying that if you're a cable operator, you can't own more than 30% of the pay TV market. ..
I see Comcast buying Sprint and Verizon buying AT&T
In the end, I think the telephone companies will compete against the cable companies. I see Verizon buying AT&T and rolling out FiOS across the country. They will then offer a quadruple play: TV, Telephone, Internet and Cellphone.
On the other hand, I see Comcast and Cablevision merging and buying out Sprint. That will give the cable company a chance to also offer a quadruple play.
If Sprint builds out their WiMAX network with decent coverage, a hefty back-end to support the usage and a fair pricing plan, they should do well.

I'm glad they finally overruled the rule by the fcc to limit "CABLE" while allowing Bell companies like Verizon to be exempt from the same caps as CABLE companies. Its about time! -- BSD
