| Dumb-Pipe That would leave Time Warner Cable as just a dumb-pipe bandwidth provider -- and that's the deepest, darkest fear of any cable or phone company CEO. And why is that so bad? Maybe that's exactly what people want?
Out of an ISP, all I want is access to the Internet, with no restrictions or filters. I don't even want to lease the modem, although it's fine to purchase the modem from the ISP if I don't already have one.
I'll worry about the content, the set-up, and the maintenance of the internal network (if the problem really is at my end I won't call the ISP's technical support). |

If TWC wants to get into the content game, they should buy Hulu. |

Just give us the unfettered unfiltered access to the internet. Period.

Right on.
Just give me an IP address, and I will do the rest!
All I really want is a dumb pipe.
