What an odd world. Not especially. There is a large percentage of people out there was just wanted another choice, any other choice, and are completely satisfied that they have that choice. I doubt a large portion of the people care about the quality of the service. -- "What is conservatism? Is it not adherence to the old and tried, against the new and untried?" - Abraham Lincoln |

 | reply to baineschile When you offer a service for so many years and there is little competition people build up a myriad of reasons to dislike you with little chance to go elsewhere.
When competition finally comes and knocks on the door it's always a breath of fresh air. |

 SLDPremium join:2002-04-17 San Francisco, CA | reply to baineschile Maybe the telcos should stick with voice and data, and the cables companies should stick with tv delivery. And all of them stay out of content! I bet they'd be able to do their jobs well. |

 | reply to Matt Weren't the 'winners' in each section a cable co? |
|
 | reply to baineschile Yep however at the rate that people are disconnecting landlines, the video revenue is a much safer way to run a business! |
|
 | reply to SLD Why should cable companies stick with TV delivery? TV delivery IS data in the 21st century.
Satellite receivers that cable companies use now receive MPEG4 and MPEG2 streams and can put them on an ethernet port to send them to other ethernet enabled encoding devices that send the data down to the customer.
So if they have to deliver data that happens to hold television, why should they stop there and not deliver any other data that they can?
Really makes no sense. |
