| reply to hayabusa3303 Why does it have to be for a discount?
This story is POOOOOORLY reported, once again, by BBR.
They are not going to show this as simply a 4th element of the so-called Quad play. They don't want this to be viewed simply as a "4th element of a quadruple play"... rather, they want it to be marketed as a service of features as "on the go"... meaning, you can connect with the DVR, interact with your other services like your telephone voice mail, email, tv on your phone, etc. In other words, there are plenty of cell phone providers, they are looking to be set apart from others.
Will there be a bundled discount? most likely not, and if there is a discount, it will mostly be in a market competitive price.
In other words, cable isn't looking to be a cell phone provider, rather if you're going to have cell service, we've got one that will work for you AND give you a way to connect you with your existing services, which other providers can't. -- "Wipe out the national deficit over night...
