So, too cheap and lazy to roll out these fabulous subscriber-pleasing services now? |

So, too cheap and lazy to roll out these fabulous subscriber-pleasing services now? I find that the biggest joke in the entire article. Cable companies are always talking about the great services they call offer. Lets see it please. The comcast ceo constantly talks about 100mb speed cable can offer meanwhile there still stuck at 5-8 meg in most areas. Having the capability and actually doing it are 2 different things. Stop all the talk, I see telcos actually offering more HD more eVOD and faster speeds what are cable companies doing? |

I've seen some press releases... if that's what you mean.
Is there a real TelcoTV deployment yet where a major cableco hasn't been able to counter with a competitive offering?
...and "real" does not mean "press release". |

Is there a real TelcoTV deployment yet where a major cableco hasn't been able to counter with a competitive offering? ...and "real" does not mean "press release". Last time I checked in the places where FIOS is deployed they have 30/5 and 15/2 speeds available, they have more SD, HD as well as VOD available. You are talking about them not deploying fast enough for you tastes. I can see the telcos deploying this I don't see cable companies doing the same. Yes they are slow in getting it rolled out in more places but if anyone is guilty of constant press releases in cable companies. Every time FIOS speaks of something they are already doing here comes a cable company to claim they "can" do the same with little effort. Talk is cheap lets see you offer more HD more VOD and the faster net speeds. |
