| cable rate hikes not as high as usual Today this site claims rate increases in USA will not be as high as they usually are thanks to telcoTV competition, and yet every other day of the week this site claims that telcoTV has done absolutely nothing to keep cable prices down. Granted it would be better if there were no price increase at all, but that is impossible as long as the content providers continue to increase their prices and as long as gas prices remain high. |

1 edit | Sorry, but this has more to do with the economy, and the resulting churn rates with higher prices, than gas prices I'd think.
We all know that these companies need to make record profits quarter to quarter to placate the greedy shareholders and the exec's justifications for their salaries.
This is merely a red herring for consumers if the bill goes up "only" 15%. Welcome to the corporate suck & mind f**k.
BTW, I'm sure we'll see a positive spin on this very soon. Wait for it!
