 JSYPremium join:2000-04-05 Elmhurst, NY | Don't see Time Warner... Not all that phased. Seems like that instead of the content provider charging the cable company for channels, they have found a new market for doing the same to internet providers for pumping their programming over broadband.
I hope this doesn't mean that broadband pricing will now start to take the shape of the pricing for programming. Broadband pricing has been far more stagnant compared to your cable bill, but if this takes off and more channels come over broadband - why wouldn't the ISP pass on the cost to the customer? Be careful what you wish for. If I'm getting certain channels over cable, I'd be damned if then starting charging me extra for the same to be pumped over broadband. |
