Re: That's what you get... My thoughts.. "Absolutely agree", an argument I originally felt strongly for Verizon FIOS as well as any other provider, now a fair argument for AT&T.
I can understand if AT&T said they want Cablevision's News 12, thats their baby, homegrown sort of say.. another words they generate it themselves.
Think about it; how fair would it be to these different providers, much less for the customers, if say, FIOS bought media rights to the Mets, AT&T the yankees, well cablevision already has rights to the garden and everyone says, you can't have my HD content.. the customer would be cheated no matter what.
Don't know what to call it so i'll just call it open rights content.. content all customers expect to access no matter what. All customers, no matter what their provider is, should be able to say, for some reasonable price, they want the Mets, the Yankees at the best the given quality the content is available & their system could deliver. Fair competition means being able to access content on an even platform, my feeling.
I feel if Cablevision doesn't do this, they could create the above mess. Viewers, could you imagine having to live with a company that does not deliver to your satisfaction cause they are the only ones who will display a high quality version of your favorite sports team. I don't know how anyone can consider that fair competition. |
