Re: Why? Comcast, Cox, and Charter are still alive because they usually are the only broadband choice for the markets in which they "compete". When they only choice you have is cable or DSL... cable can still compete. That is changing though. One example of that is where I currently live, Denton, TX.
I just moved from Ft. Worth, TX to Denton, TX. In Ft. Worth, the ONLY choice I had was Charter cable or AT&T DSL. I am convinced the only reason Charter Comm is still in business is because they only exist in places where there is very minimal competition.
I say that because here in Denton, Charter is still here, but FiOS has been deployed for at least 2 years, and EVERYONE in this town is switching to FiOS. I would not be suprised if Charter left (and I held a parade) in the next 2 years. |
