Re: internet?
said by fiberguy  :Yea... Hit Comcast where it hurts in the HSI arena... Comcast... the cable tv company, ... Comcast "cable"... TV.. Video... In case you didn't notice, comcast is a Video provider first, HSI and phone second. Everything revolves around the video product, not HSI. Too true.. internet is actually where you would hit Comcast LEAST.. Well.. phone is.. then internet.
Video is the CORE BUSINESS. Youve got 23 million video customers who also generate On Demand/PPV revenue. What extra revenue will an internet subscriber generate? Its capped. ( pun intended) you will not see another dime from them and the prices havent been raised in years. Speeds have, prices havent.
23million Vs 8mil ( although Im sure that number is far greater this year)
DSLR Die Hards really need to start realizing their passion for speed and bandwidth is, at this stage in the game, a minority.
Fios would see a bigger gain overall if their penetration only housed DSLR addicts. But Joe College guy and John and Mary home owner do not care at all about 6, 8, 16, 30Mb. They just want an always on connection so they can compare prices on cars and insurance.  And THAT is who your core customer is.
