Best of luck dead, I mean dear cable co

If they think they can bring their archaic model of control and profiteering to the internet, they are in for a huge surprise.

No kidding. This clearly shows just how out of touch with reality they are. In 10 years they'll be in the same boat the telephone companies are today with POTS, except the video cash cow subsidized data to a far larger extent than commercial POTS ever did (residential is not even a factor).

Can't say I'll miss them. The dozen or so strong cable networks will survive nicely while the 1,000 lame ones will fade away along with the MSOs.

I agree totally!

They would probably blast it with spam so who would wanna watch it anyway?? (Even if free)
