Re: hey
I'd agree on the first part:
Let them expand, as long as there is competition.
Since VZ is deploying FiOS TV, and AT&T is deploying U-Verse VDSL TV (and DirecTV), there is competition.
I do suspect that many of the 'small' players will be gobbled up, similar to what is happening with wireless. |

The relative footprint of areas served by FiOS or U-Verse is pretty minuscule as compared to those serviced by cable TV. While they are competition in some areas, in most cable is still a land-based monopoly still and has no competition other then satellite. AT&T "deploying" DirecTV should have no bearing on the matter as anyone who could get AT&T'-billed DirectTV could already get it from DirecTV directly. |
