Re: Predatory Pricing...

The "similar" product isn't defined by the franchise area unless Verizon shows (if it is accused by consumers or the gov't anyway) it costs that different from franchise to franchise.

You really think it costs 3X the cost to deliver that service in one franchise versus another in the same state and it just so happens it's only very cheap to deliver service where they're seeing competition? I don't.

I never said it cost them 3x more. What you don't understand is they have no requirements in pricing across franchise areas. What your quoting applies only to companies like directv which have national franchises. Explain to me why its legal for comcast,TW,etc to offer cheaper prices in areas where verizon and other over builders exist meanwhile when verizon is lowering there prices its now illegal. Now do you think the price difference is only in cost?

The law was written long before DBS and doesn't have any regional restrictions. It speaks only of the product being sold, not where it is sold.

And I never said it's legal for Comcast to do so. Actually I said it's not, multiple times.

Verizon is doing it in areas where there is not Cablevision I think. They are testing the pricing scheme I think and it will be implemented at some point to the rest of the country.
