Re: Metered Billing?

His first statement about the upgrades is false. TW made money last year with only selective plans for upgrades. Why would anybody trust what TW says when thier own COO states that they won't upgrade consumers in non-competitive markets?

On sept.9, 2008 TWC chief operating officer Landel Hobbs said at a conference in California that his company's strategy will be to deploy DOCSIS 3.0 "surgically" in markets where it is most needed, but not in markets where the company is finding support for its tiered broadband services.

THAT is ridiculous! Some of these companies are looking more and more like greedy scammers than anything else. Amazing what lack of competition will do to the industry.

So in a nutshell, the people who pay for the upgrades will be the ones who support caps/metering, but the ones who actually get them will be the ones who don't.
