Re: Tears for tiers

That is an interesting take on the issue.

Be interesting research project to determine customer priority: TV vs Internet. I'm not sure sure Broadband Reports members are that atypical. People have long shown a strong preference for connectivity vs content. That's why we pay for broadband and content, for the most part, is advertiser supported.

I'm a big fan of Andrew Odlyzko. Was at AT&T labs now at University of Minnesota. He wrote an interesting paper in 2001 titled "Content is not King." Thought provoking then and still holds true today.

The "Content is not King" paper was interesting, and brought back some 'old' terminology I'd forgotten.

We'll have to see what transpires over the next two years. A lot will have to with disposable income in the hands of the 18-30 crowd.
