Re: Comcast is scared.... said by Rick:You fail to consider how allowing them entry could in fact raise prices higher than normal in time. That could happen in one of two ways. First..if you allow another company to simply cherry pick the highest ROI customers..you create an imbalance that saddles Comcast with the rest. Who gets to pay for that in the form of higher prices? All the rest. Wow. Use circular arguments much?
said by Rick:Secondly, we've all seen the news of verizons massive loss of landlines and dsl customers. There is NOTHING conducive in that which will allow verizon to be particularly price competitive in the years ahead and if anything..due to the high cost of the rollout itself..could cause them to RAISE prices higher than normal. What might comcasts move then have to be? To do the same because all verizon would have done is to cannibalize customers who otherwise might have allowed them to keep prices lower. Landlines have zip to do with Internet connectivity and pricetag. FiOS is "price competitive" based on the simple fact there aren't any caps. That alone is what's going to kill Comcrap regardless of whatever circular logic you spew.

| I'm all for competition, but as far as availability, if Comcast has to abide by franchise rules, then so should Verizon. If they are competing for similar services, they should both abide by state franchise rules. It is unfair for Verizon to freely jump in and cherry pick "rich neighborhoods" without serving "the rest of us", and yet be allowed to offer similar product offerings. |

Don't even bother , he has great service and there fore every one else is wrong.
Like cable didn't cherry pick when they first started rolling out either. I mean really no company is in this to make money to grow more , they are all in it to make sure the customer is happy and thats all that matters.
Comcast makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside when they stand up to the mean telcos and help us consumers out like this.
I for one welcome our new entertainment overlords comcast , and may I say as a qualified entertainment consumer i should be kept around to help get other customers from the nasty big company telcos turned over to the light side of comcast.

They wire the good, the bad, AND the ugly areas. You people all act like there are some parts of an area they won't go into. They're already there. All those ugly areas already have Verizon phone lines to every address. They wire one CO at a time, and they do it all, whether you live there, or I live there. |
