kudos:3 | Two additional? St.Paul/Minneapolis is, um, 1 market.. not two. But, I guess if it makes it sound better.. so be it. |

nope.
Twin CIties is TWO markets for Comcast.
Old Comcast based on St. Paul.
(which I happen to be in, even though I live in Maple Grove)
New Comast which is the Old Time/Warner.
So Comcast considers it TWO markets |

kudos:3 | No.. I'm sorry to disagree with you on this. The system has been integrated and is ONE system. It's all based out of 10 River Park Plaza and the main head-end is in Roseville. The systems have been integrated and operate as one.
To take your logic in play, then the MN/STP systems are actually 16 markets if you take into account how many systems have been stitched together including King, Paragon, Rogers, and on and on.
On this one, you will lose. Trust me.  This is a system I'm very familiar with. |

Minneapolis, MN | reply to fiberguy
said by fiberguy:St.Paul/Minneapolis is, um, 1 market.. not two. But, I guess if it makes it sound better.. so be it. Er...Kinda 1, Kinda 2...There is still 2 separate prins, different quota buckets, different frequencies for HSI, and if a tech crosses prins they still have to get eq issued from a different warehouse into their buffer.
The biggest differentiators is that St. Paul uses MOTO equipment and Minneapolis uses SA equipment - they each have different ondemand systems, and will require different implementations of SDV.
I'd say its considered 1 market on the surface but underneath the technical aspect is still 2 very separate entities and will be for the foreseeable future... |
