Re: ah, the refreshing taste of no caps See - this is the very essence of Cable's thinking - that they can keep screwing with their customers and eventually Verizon will join them. The logic does not follow. Now if you were saying that eventually the cable folks will disappear and vz will own the market (and be able to institute caps due to the lack of market forces to the contrary - the cable infrastructure won't disappear - either they will lose so many customers (and video subscriptions as iptv takes over) that they will be bought out for the value of their infrastructure(discounted) by someone who knows how to compete for consumers $ or they will begin to compete themselves.
One thing that won't happen is VZ owning the market all to itself - we may appreciate their approach to broadband today, and may even reward it by showing preference to their model - but the ultimate outcome for them, at best, is owning a competitive, truly national, network (and the concomitant revenues), not a monopoly. |
