Cash pit

Going to use an example here where I live. In Springfield, they have Comcast and Springfield cable. For the longest time, Comcast was losing their butt in the area because the cable was cheaper (lot less channels, but cheaper) and people liked the idea that your water and cable were on one bill..

Then the fiber upgrade came along. Comcast upgraded all the coax to fiber. Springfield, with other problems, couldn't afford to. The Comcast picture was a lot better and now when it rains, it doesn't go out. I know this from experience. Now Springfield cable is about dead. Knology looked into buying them (they have the rest of the city) and said no because of too much debt/upgrading costs.

Why I bring this up is the initial time its going to be great. I do like my Comcast but would love to tell Bellsouth to stick their phone somewhere unpleasant. When it comes time for a major upgrade, are they going to afford to do it? All it takes is one administration to screw it up.
