| Offload to a cheap service.. I think Comcast should survey these subscribers and find out if Video content is their main objective in pinning out their connection day & night. If so, Comcast could sell an all you can eat streaming plan at the server edge to give customers what they want & save a bundle in transport costs.. they still are not off the hook in widening their last mile pipes, BUT this could turn out to be a win-win situation for the end users who wouldn't see network wide fee increases and Comcast makes a thin profit by giving consumers what they want without it COSTING them a bundle in internet transport. (A streaming all you can eat rental service can essentially put netflix, blockbuster, and others out of business though... tough luck). What Comcast CAN'T do is force customers to do this though.. it's more the carrot & stick approach. Don't think a broadband connection will stay current levels per month IF more & more subscribers want to MAX OUT the connection for content. Think of it as the railroad approach to putting gas guzzling cars out of business & it helps fund widening last mile pipes. |
