In my case it would be Time Warner Cable.. considering Time Warner Cable built out most of Charters WI systems. (With Time Warner doing a systems swap with Marcus Cable in 1997 or 1998 to consolidate service areas.)
IMO, Paul Allen / Charter paid too much for the cable systems they purchased, considering the condition some of them were in at the time of the sale. (The large majority needed to be rebuilt for 2 way service like cable internet or digital cable.)
that is what TWC will do with the systems with Charter the same as they did with Comcast. They'll team up with MediaCom and probably some other company and start spitting and swapping.
Especially in Ohio. TWC will pick up the cities here.
But the price CHTR paid for the systems is what put them where they are. When you pay more than what they system/network is worth and it's not making very much you'll end up in the same place they are now.
This would be a great place for ELINK to get into the Broadband business. Pick up Charter's areas and go from there.
