Re: 100% rate decrease

My cable rate is going down 100% in a couple weeks. That's because I'll be canceling Cablevision's overpriced cable service.
And replacing it with what?
The "OFF" button.

That's probably not STRICTLY the case if at least part of the family is tech savvy.. there's SOMEBODY downloading content probably for FREE over the internet.. that's one HUGE factor in stalling deployment of DOCSIS 3.0 in Verizon FIOS areas. At some point, the [CABLE-TV] industry will have see that they are on a collision course with the so-called FREE PIRACY MAYHEM of content ditribution over the internet VERSUS semi annual price increases for Cable-TV content channels. At this point, the idea of A-LA-CARTE idea might have to be nuanced further.. instead of paying for CHANNELS.. you may just want to download/stream blocks of content for a small fee to stay on the "LEGAL" side of things this way you can place a "VALUE" on the content itself.. and good luck selling it with commercials/informercials. Cable-TV as it is sold today is dying a slow death, with more and more consumers saying the heck with it.. and the tipping point will come--maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow.. but your children (as a whole) are HOOKED on FREE to dirt cheap cost, and that.. cable-tv isn't with all it's set-top box rentals and price gouging feature sets & widgets/interactivity.
