Montgomery Cnty.MD reaps what they sow Montgomery Cnty.MD reaps what they sow. This jurisdiction continues to add on layers of regulation and costs thru guaranteed service times and fines and other demands. And then they are surprised the costs go up?? And since it isn't one provider, but all three, it is obvious the pols there have no idea about economics.

Rockville, MD | Are these increases only in Montgomery County MD, or are they everywhere? |

1 edit | said by JTRockville:Are these increases only in Montgomery County MD, or are they everywhere? Rates go up everywhere as someone else posted here because of increasing programming costs. But Montgomery Cnty, MD is seeing larger increases because of their pols decisions concerning minimum service requirements, PEG channels, fines, etc. They can be seen as defending service quality and looking out for their constituents, but their decisions do result in increasing costs. And as we all know, increasing costs will result in increasing fees.
I am sure the pols think that the increased costs should be eaten by the ISPs and spread to other jurisdictions not so enlightened as their own. But that isn't how it works. Especially, at least for RCN & Comcast, because they are MSO(multi system operators) where each area has its own management and budgets and profit goals to meet.

Rockville, MD | From the article, it looks like the increase in Comcast's prices for DVRs are the same regardless of where you live. Do you have pricing that shows otherwise? |
