Re: could someone explain this situation here? What it boils down to is that the cost of running more than one cable into an area is too expensive. (Called over-building)
There were a few areas for example, in Colorado, where there were 2 cable operators running side by side, but in the end it just wasn't economically viable. |

RCN is an overbuilder in the US. They cover portions of Allentown, Boston, Chicago, Washington D.C., New York City, and Philadelphia. But they don't overlap with 100% of the coverage of each respective cable provider they're competing with in each area or even close to it. |
