TW is a public company, so they will like many others look for any way to increase their earnings. It's all about the shareholders. -- You can't make all the people happy all of the time. But it should be common sense to shoot for the majority.
The, its about the shareholders is as valid as the need to charge more for the same service. The shareholders are not getting anymore of anything. The stock prices are deflating faster than a vanishing clown act, and anyone invested in the great shareholder wall street fiasco know that real well. Its about the fat cat execs at the top of these companys who are getting rich at every ones expense.
