What the TW spokesdroid said and what he meant

What Jeff Simmermon, the TW PR droid said:

quote:
"We think that charging for usage is an equitable way to generate the necessary revenue,"

What he really meant:
"We think that charging for usage is an equitable way to stifle the competition for own own VoD and cable TV services and make the consumers of our services pay even more."

On another note about TW's sky-high prices: they've been advertising heavily (they must have a bigger advertising budget than the one for their bandwidth) for their digital cable plus free HDTV channels, TW VOIP, and basic HSI for 12 months, for $29 each. Wow! What a bargain (sarcasm intended here). That's almost $90 a month for triple play. I'll bet AT&T can offer something similar for less.
