[shakes head]

General Motors had the same exact strategy in the 1980's in the face of foreign competition. Look at where they are today...

Heck, Comcrap has to make up for the lost revenue from customer defects somehow.

Have you ever heard of ANY cable company permanently lowering subscription fees? I sure haven't.

Comcast Reports Third Quarter 2006 Results

Triple Play powers highest level of quarterly RGU additions in Comcast history

Record additions fuel 15% growth in cable Operating Cash Flow and 12% growth in cable revenue

Third consecutive quarter of accelerating growth in cable revenue and cable Operating Cash Flow.

"Revenue increased 12% to $6.6 billion in the third quarter of 2006 as demand for our video, voice and high-speed Internet services accelerated. The rollout of our Triple Play offering contributed to the record-setting RGU net additions for the quarter.

Revenue generating units (RGUs)(3) increased 1.486 million in the third quarter of 2006 or 82% from prior year net additions. RGU growth was concentrated in Historical Comcast Systems(4) with 1.402 million or 94% of the net additions in those markets. Comcast ended the third quarter of 2006 with 49.2 million RGUs, an increase of 4.3 million units from one year ago."

Yea you hit it right on the mark. I guess if anyone owns Comcast stock, they better get out before they go bankrupt.

Some of you are going to go into shock when Comcast reports 4th quarter numbers on Feb 1st.

It's not really possible to permanently lower rates. With the cost of inflation, eventually, you have to raise rates to make money.

Of course those that are bleating about Comcast bleeding subscribers should note the following

Video
-- Added 558,000 new digital subscribers during the quarter - digital
penetration now exceeds 50%
-- Historical Comcast Systems added 24,000 basic video subscribers during
the quarter compared to a loss of 39,000 in the prior year

High-Speed Internet
-- Added 536,000 high-speed Internet subscribers during the quarter - most
quarterly additions in two years

Phone
-- Added 483,000 Comcast Digital Voice (CDV) customers during the quarter
-- CDV service now marketed to 31 million homes or 65% of Comcast's
footprint

What a horrible position this company is in.
