Re: WOW and capital expenditures for the future?

I would think if WOW wants to compete, it will have to dramatically increase its HD lineup in the very near future. How many did they add within the last year? Maybe 10 channels? Its big thing was always being lower priced then everyone else, and now there isn't that much of a difference in price amongst the cable companies here in Columbus (Insight, Time Warner, Uverse).

For that reason I'm leaving WOW again in a week.

Not much of a price difference, and with Comcast I'll get some extra HD and the opportunity to try out their 50/10 internet speed (albeit for a fairly hefty price premium).

I can handle a one year contract. I don't see WOW providing competition on the HSI side of things for a while, which is what kept me as a customer the last time around when WOW was able to provide the 16/2 speed.

 Re: WOW and capital expenditures for the future?

IP on-demand programming will change the face of the competition soon.
HD from cable may be nice, but not as pivotal as HD over IP, and HD On-Demand.

The HSI speed competition, will lead to IP-HD on-demand being viable.

IMHO WOW! may not be big enough/cutting edge enough to compete in 10 years ...
(Unless its going on in secrete development!)

I agree that big changes are on the way. That's why I could only stomach a 1-year contract.
