| It's all about huge "near" future loss in ad revenue when it all comes down to it, it all has to do with ad revenue. they are
1. losing ad revenue to "ON DEMAND" INTERNET with very little ad's and NO REVENUE from online ad's
2. more people seeing the true light of ON DEMAND, thus more ad revenue $$$ being flushed down the toilet or in this case non existent
they have an uphill battle to
1. pass laws in their favor to gain ad revenue from "ON LINE" ON DEMAND AD revenue.
2. being a LONG TERM viable company or to appease the CUSTOMER and the true people who count, the INVESTORS
when it all comes down to it, its ad revenue that is quickly slipping away from something they (TWC) have NO CONTROL over, and dont want to take the time to come up with a WORKING strategy for ALL, only to TAX the end user
Folks honestly why do we pay $15-$200 a month for cable services??? when
1. most all channels broadcast ad spam after 12am
2. most all channels do more re-runs
3. ALL CHANNELS have more ad's, ad time then actual programing time
so in the end WE PAY to see advertising that TWC is making $$$ off a premium service that is already paid for, and we all think this is fair and ok?
so why not a metered billing system if we most already swallow paying to see ad spam 75% of what we pay goes into paying to see adverts.
people of today are more of a ON DEMAND society
ie: a phone that is next to one (cell phone)
ie: dvr services/devices to record programs and watch when time permits
ie: pulling into a fast food place drive thru for food
this is all ON DEMAND
people have a mindset ITS QUICKER, families that juggle daily life with kids, practices, school, work, daily life.
WHEN DOES ONE HAVE TIME TO SEE 15 min. of ad's on a 1hr show????? ----- THIS IS THE INCONVENIENCE of TODAY'S SOCIETY.
so in the end metered billing will be something to stay due to people are ok with ON DEMAND and paying the luxury for it.
these companies still have the mind set that "they" control everything, instead of JUST BEING a communications provider
they not only want their hand in the cookie jar they want to own it and the cookies and the hands that go in it
for me in the end, im already looking to cut my cable to the basic of services, but i ask why do that when i can get "basic" free over the air.
completely cut my USELESS $55 a month digital phone
and lower my internet from turbo to the 3/384 service level
from a total current monthly cost of $145 to about $47 a month.
and let the caps come TWC will loss all my $$ from me..
1. i dont have time to monitor a usage meter
2. i dont want to be FORCED into doing this
3. caps are WAY WAY TO LOW and overages way way to extreme
4. how will they respond to end user virus threats, attacks, and the like
5. downloading a update or patch for programs and hardware we are paying for again!!!
6. we are going to pay to watch any ad stream ran AGAIN, and AGAIN
the last to are good examples of TWC cookie jar example!
so buckle up and enjoy the ride, one im NOT taking or paying for | |

Glendale, CA | You made good points. I didn't think much about the ON DEMAND part but I must agree that the more we want ON DEMAND things, the more we are using bandwidth and getting raped by the ISP's.
I never watch TV these days but as you said, its like 15 mins commercial for a friggin 20 minutes show....and it's really annoying having to see the same annoying viagra commercial with your young sublings.
Less TV = more internet bandwidth = more getting raped. The caps really are too low. As said, let alone downloading a microshaft patch and browsing sites that have those ads that are like 50304 hours long and consume 5000GB of bandwidth raelly are a killer.
