Re: No Understanding of Business
said by GOLFnSUN  :said by chemaupr :You do not charge the HIGHEST price you can before loosing customers. That is when you are suppose to start gaining the good faith of your customers. They are just arrogant and do not see Fios as a real threat. Actually, that is exactly what you do in a capitalist system. And if enough people start moving to Verizon, then Comcast will drop their rates. I agree.
People are idiots. 90% of the US can't spell fiber, much less say it out loud, and there's an even lesser chance they know offhand why they should care.
Perhaps I'm exaggerating, but that's how consumers are. No one cares about hi-fi equipment, they just want something to play music without loud pops. No one cares about HDTV, half the time they plug the composite video connector in when they're paying for HDTV, and can tell no difference.
Once there's an "in" reason for people to have a 50 mbps downstream, comcast will feel the pressure. But as long as the majority of their customers just use their service to web browse quicker and download a few files quicker, they're fine.
