I call bullshit.

I've been paying the same price for internet service since 2002, LONG before FIOS was a glimmer in Verizon's eye. The article attempts to tie apparently related phenomenon into a cause/effect relationship, which is a logical fallacy.
Agreed!

BIG time agreed. I about fell off my chair when I started reading the headlining story here on BBR. I haven't seen a price increase in HSI since I had the service in 2001.

Second, what they also fail to realize is that the internet and video services are two totally different creatures. The internet is a product born from different vendors and pieces that make it up. Prices are much more stable there. Television on the other hand is built from the rich elite in Hollywood and the lawyers, execs, organizations, and of course, people like John Travolta need their money so they can support their house staff and small fleet of air planes. (In other words, the entertainment industry is largely priced off of salary and contracts of all the players which ultimately is passed on to the subscribers)
