Re: Off the point I think what you are missing here is not that they arent getting paid, but that they are double dipping in it.
If you are a subscriber to their cable service is should be included with that subscription because you are already paying to receive it regardless of how it is being delivered.
I would extend this even further. If I am paying ANYONE money that is then paying the content providers then I should be able to get it any way I want regardless. EXAMPLE: I pay for uVerse and ATT has to pay NBC to carry their channels and thus their shows to deliver it to me. Therefore, I should be able to get NBC content anyway I want because I am already paid for. So if I want to download a show over BT, over my phone, from NetFlix or through another ISP's service then I should be able to do just that with no additional fees because I have already been paid for in my subscription to ATT which has then paid NBC. THAT is the business model that they need to figure out how to adopt. |
