Another factor, besides gas prices, is the cost of electricity. Cable companies use a ton of power. Plus the price increases across the board for everything else you need to run a business.
I also suspect they're probably losing subscribers at a very high rate. When people can't fill their gas tank or pay their mortgagee suddenly having 500 channels and fast internet access isn't so important anymore.
Cox is a public corporation and they have an obligation to their share holders to make money. If they can't keep their stock price moving upwards (or at least offsetting the losses) they have to increase prices. That's just how business works in this country. |
