For once, he is right.......

Cell phone service has a high churn rate. People can switch on a whim and not have to worry about monopolies or duopolies. Not so with cable TV services.

Also, Comcast is not going to run a help desk just for the phone. Sprint will handle this and if you piss off a customer over his cell phone service, will he blame Comcast since they sold him the service? And, if a customer cancels the cell phone due to poor service, will that affect the pricing of the 3 other services involved?

Another thing to consider is the normal 2 year contracts for cell phones. Cable, DSL and DSS services are normally 1 year.

This could get interesting.

Re: For once, he is right.......

why anyone would sign up for quadruple play anyway is beyond me...It doesn't save you that much money (if any) and you get the same, crappy service from one provider. Yippee!
