Re: Rediculous! That's so completely irrational it's beyond comprehension.
If AT&T and Verizon could so easily raise rental costs, why wouldn't they do so before any patent settlement? Why leave money on the table? The reality is they can't raise prices. Whether due to competition or an unwillingness of consumers to spend anymore than the Big Two currently charge, they will have to eat any settlement money awarded to TiVo. |
