Re: don't give a crap

Your still going to pay for it whether its through your cable company your isp or subscription service. So cutting the cord for the cheap consumer is not going to get you anywhere for much longer. Bandwidth is prime real estate and if cutting the cord takes down cable cos and dish then your isp will just jack up that bandwidth price on that. So its silly to suggest that cutting the cord is the answer. Sorry its just inevitable that you are going to have to eventually pay more.

Your argument is irrational. If they could jack up the price of broadband so much they would have done so already.

You're suggesting they're currently leaving money on the table. Are you nuts?

The cable companies already have higher prices for people with just internet than those with internet and tv service through them. I think the phone companies ALSO charge more for people with just internet through them than those with phone and internet.

Your off base again. Right now it's the theory that people should cut the cord to make cable cos drop prices. My point is that even if everyone cut the cord they are still going to be paying the same on the other end whether it's the broadband or subscription service. You can't escape raising prices so just get used to it. Your way of thinking suggests that if everyone bought electric cars then gas prices would drop. Maybe but then energy prices would raise and your still paying the same if not more for electricity. C'mon it's common sense here.

They are leaving money on the table. So they can take it back when the current model isn't bringing in enough anymore. Futureproofing your business should be the first thing on any Ceo's list.

Leaving money on the table is grounds for a shareholder lawsuit. You know not of what you speak.
