| lol yah that will happen. Comcast, TWC, and Cablevision will slap the FCC with a lawsuit and that will be the end of it. But also where is ATT attached to this. |

kudos:1 | said by hottboiinnc:But also where is ATT attached to this. But Uverse isn't cable TV. Its an "information service" like Xbox Live Video Marketplace or Apple TV or Youtube. Do you want the FCC investigating Youtube for not free money for watching a video? (whats cheaper than free? when they pay YOU money to watch). |

| VZ is using IPTV. Its not actual cable tv. only uses coax when it gets to the house. otherwise its all digital. no difference.
but price hikes are price hikes. |

Canonsburg, PA | said by hottboiinnc:VZ is using IPTV. Its not actual cable tv. only uses coax when it gets to the house. otherwise its all digital. no difference. but price hikes are price hikes. FiOS TV uses an RF overlay (just like digital cable but over fiber) as well as IPTV (interactive services) so it is actually a hybrid. Verizon eliminated its very basic analog tier altogether so the only complaint FCC can have there is what Verizon is charging for the boxes. Verizon did change its digital tiers so that those who want more HD pay more but that obviously has nothing to do with analog.
I agree with you that price hikes are price hikes but the FCC doesn't seem to see it that way. |

 ·WOW Internet and..
| true.
but then again if we didnt have assholes like LinTV wanting money for their "award winning" news stations we wouldnt see much rate hikes either.
but a lot has to do with content hikes, and the plants being upgraded to handle everything we want/need.
The plant and general upkeep is the real advantage of Dish and DirecTV have over everyone else. |
