Re: CEO Roberts isn't the only one with vision...
said by Rick  :I just don't see wireless competing with fiber/coax though. they're distinct and different enough to serve two markets with wireless more for the mobile market. Yes..cell phones do replace landlines for some..but that's not tv and hsi. and the bundling effects will keep landlines as part of the cable bundle equation for a long time to come. Really?

Those speeds are becoming quite impressive. Femto cells being rolled out by T-Mobile and soon by Verizon really blur the line.
Now if those speeds can be offered soon by wireless companies, TV would not be far behind.
The problem with many cable phone line bundles is after the first year the prices go up dramatically. And let's be honest, the states are going to try to find a way to get their paws deeper into the potential tax dollars. We saw it with indie VoIP, I would imagine the cable companies are not far off.
Personally due to monopolies I can't get a major ISP except AT&T where I live. Verizon if a few miles away in RI, Charter is one town away, and others are over the border in Mass.
All I care about is who can give me the fastest speeds at the best price. Right now that is DSL with their Elite speeds as Metrocast is more expensive for just a smidge more download. Now they are retooling their network, so that may change.
I do not have an allegiance to my ISP, I don't care about the CEO or the quarterly earnings nor do I have their name tattooed on my arm. Give me the fastest speeds at the most reasonable price, whether it's cable, DSL, fiber, wireless, whatever.
