Re: haha "Monopoly"? How? There are several viable alternatives for everything Comcast sells: TV, interweb, phone, content. Just being the largest cable operator & the largest ISP in and of itself doesn't make Comcast a monopoly. Its not like Comcast can dictate a higher price regardless of the market, they're offering the Triple Play @ $99/mo for the first year. For most people that's a great deal.
Big (=| Monopoly |
 | when you acquire a major network that millions of people watch, that hundreds of providers offer, that is billed to consumers, it is not fun knowing that comcast will have in its power to block distribution if it really felt like it.
I'll admit, $99/mo does sound good, but why do i want to pay $79 for digital TV if dish/directv will give me more for the same price.
the only thing that i like about comcast is HSI, everything else is crud on a stick *pricing wise* |
