Incumbents Blocking Google Fiber Access to Sports Channels? > TWC

Re: TWC

That is because TWC and Comcast are Cable companies. Google is an internet service provider in this case. Their main product is the internet service. If you subscribe to the right tier, you get the added feature of television programming. Just like Comcast offers domain names for people who have their business class HSI.

Google is not a TV company, nor are they trying to be. They are going to provide internet service, first and foremost. Everything is built on top of that.

So take the Free (after $300 install) Internet for 7 years.

And since when has the mainstream media not worked for cable co's?

It's horrible how so many things are tied in with Television just because people want them to be.

Then if they're not trying to be a TV company then they don't need access to the TWC set of channels, and yet still force bundling.

They can provide the TV product without providing full access to 'net.

and with that they should be REQUIRED to UNBUNDLE their TV product.

Just because consumers want something one way doesn't mean that they can have what they want. Haven't you learned anything from Verizon or AT&T?

reply to hottboiinnc
problem here is that it isn't a separate product.
