Re: Too Big To Fail? Microsoft controls 85% of the operating software fos business. Is that too big?
UVerse and FiOs over the next few year will cut down Comcast's numbers; we just have to wait to see how much. |

Microsoft doesn't STOP you from loading a different OS on a machine. But if you want an alternate ISP, you most likely only have one option...two if you're lucky.
Also, since you bring up Microsoft, the government DID in fact step in to prevent anti-competitive business practices....and the lawsuit dragged on and on...when GWB came into power, his business-friendly USDOJ found the quickest way out of litigation.
But, please, don't let facts get in the way of your talking points.

LMAO @ U-Verse and FiOS. Especially with VZ just sold your state and a shit load of others. ATT isn't an actual "real" product that can compete with cable. Cable can turn around and offer Fiber in cities in under a month maybe two at the most while it would take ATT a whole rebuild - again- before they could even think about offering Fiber Optic. --- Look at Sprint's WiMAX compared to LTE. Let's see who's going to win. |

Let's see who's going to win. You mean that a net loss of nearly 600,000 video customers in one quarter isn't a sign of them getting their tails kicked? Wow. Come to the Philly suburbs, and you'll see that 'fake' company, Verizon, killing Comcast in their own back-yard. Of all the people that I know - co-workers, friends and family - a vast majority are FiOS customers. It's not even close. Also, my wife and I are shopping for a new house - looking to stay in the area, but upgrade. We've seen dozens of houses so far - we've been at this for over a year. One thing that I note when I walk into a house - which TV provider do they use. Without question, FiOS is on top. Comcast comes in a distant second, followed by DirecTV, and then Dish. |
