| HSI & VOIP remain same HSI & VOIP are being revenues are being fueled by subscriber growth/additions. When the growth of VOIP and HSI subs tops out and Comcast needs to pad its numbers, just like on the TV side when it topped out, we'll see the increases start to roll in then.

| They're so over-priced to begin with that their profit margin is sufficient to cover any "inflation" amount as it is. |

I don't think so. VOIP is way overpriced. I laugh everytime they offer me their $33/month discount price while I am paying $24/month full price with Vonage. And Vonage quality is perfect.
I think the fact that Comcast is a "cable" company, has a lot to do with how they manage their cable prices. Probably they need to show some kind of reason to try and keep the FCC off their arses. Plus, shareholders probably still look primarily at TV profits which undoubtedly is their cash cow still.

Actually no, video services have the lowest margin. Try again. |

| I think he's talking about the total TV profits, not the margin per sub; "video" revenue (and profits) far outstrips HSI and CDV combined (due to the huge number of subscribers). |
