Re: Content drives the cost structure

You can't claim that. My cable company has not raised rates for years and years. We even have roughly 8 Big Ten Networks and have not seen a raise in prices to bring them. We're also one of the fastest HSI areas in Ohio. at 20meg /1meg being the highest tier available. We also have some of the lowest rates in the country.

Your comment about content costs driving force is moot. Providers raise rates to raise them. Not because programing costs go up.

I wouldn't go that far. They do raise them to cover programming costs--- but they also raise them whenever they feel like it for other reasons, because they don't have enough a) Competition to keep pricing lower or b) regulation to achieve the same.

They know Americans love their TV, and they know most people depend on Internet now. Result: They know people will pay, and if they want to increase margins, so be it.
