Re: Price goes up, demand will drop said by fAcEtIOUs:said by axus:At some point, people will not sign up if the cost is too high. It is called supply & demand. If prices keep going up, then customers will downgrade to lower tier pkgs(which I did) or drop it altogether. Then the cable companies will end the constant price increases and they will stop paying Hollywood's outrageous price demands for content. It's not going to happen. Consumers want the content and the first person they get angry at is the cable company.
And today, many people have multiple choices - cable, dish, fios, OTA. Verizon in fact takes full advantage of contract disputes with cable companies and encourages people to switch. The only way for your theory to work is if they all band together against the networks.
It won't happen because they're all fighting against each other. Verizon in particular sees it as an opportunity to soak up disgruntled subscribers. |
