plus, it says overbuilders, like RCN, are being impacted the most. As soon as we reach duopoly equilibrium, you can count on regular price increases; even now, FIOS has done nothing to lessen the annual cable tv price hikes and verizon has even raised tv prices recently.
lower prices - you funny  |

Lower prices won't happen in the long run. This just means tighter profit margins, and everyone bundling more stuff to justify raising prices. Lower prices will be offset by higher service fees, installation fees, package changing, etc.

| Tighter is a relative term. When your profit margins are so huge to begin with, it begs the question as to how it becomes that way, doesn't it? I always find it hilarious when they justify the price increases as being related to increasing costs and yet they report record profits. I'm sorry, but if you raise prices equally to the amount that your costs increase... shouldn't your profitability remain the same? You don't need college level economics to figure that one out, it's elementary mathematics. |
