Re: I guess I'm confused about this issue.... said by fAcEtIOUs:said by nanoflower:... I think you can sum it all up in one word... Money ... ... It will be a year or two before the lawsuit is decided and then appealed and appealed again. ... And where will the dollars come from, to fund the lawyers?
On Long Island, there are almost 1 milion subscribers. At $50-$100, and more, each, that is a MONTHLY revenue of 50 to 100 MILLLION dollars. Per month!! Over a billion dollars per year. Enough to fund ALL the services of some countries.
And even with the DVR box, and certainly with the network DVR, what happens when you terminate your service with Cablevision? Poof ... your carefully recorded evidence that the METS or Yankees won the World Series disappears. Even the Supreme Court ruling did NOT comtemplate that. It's NOT "Time Shifting". It is "Money Shifting". From us to a few chosen Dolans, et. al. And what do we charge THEM to share our backyards and public right of ways for their ugly wires?

ooops ... 3 million suscribers ... that is 3 Billion dollars per year, for the "manual" labor in carrying "heavy" photons and electrons down fiber and copper, once the plant is built.  |
