Re: The other MSO's 'If video was the end all be all cash cow they would have done it 15 years ago...'
Uhhh...they were.
It failed because the technology couldn't support it.
'But it doesn't matter...you want to believe that those big bill paying POTS customers weren't a huge profit generator while these $50 video subs are cash cows you go right ahead.'
I'm just guessing you don't work in the industry. The low profitability of POTS was the reason why the telecoms lobbied for relaxation of LATA regulations for long distance at the expense of POTS revenues. Everyone who has dealt with any telecom work knows this. |
