Re: That company is finished said by fifty nine:I can't imagine TWC having any customers when this whole fiasco is over. I can, becuase it's not all about speeds and some people could care less. Many people aren't going to see the metered billing now so that battle has been won.
To me, the way I read this, is like Karl said, they're pouting. This is just the next move in a PR campaign. If people stepped back and do NOT respond to this and further force the issue, ie: putting more fuel on their fire, DS3 will come out.
They're eventually going to have to renew their franchise agreements and the local governments, those people that actually are forced to live with those services, are going to speak up. The local levels tend to be more effective than the feds anyway.
It is, however, funny to watch these same PR games played out in public and how they can flame bait the public and government and keep their agenda's moving forward, in the exact direction they want. The best way to deal with THIS particular move is to ignore them. Fight the metered billing front, but this "we're not deploying DS3" card should be ignored. |

Now in many areas locals have fewer rights and abilities to demand concessions for service. |
