| IP Cable Providers AT&T is looking at streaming TV services. Time Warner Cable already released a Roku channel so you can stream TV if you are a TWC subscriber. How long until one of them decides to allow people to sign up for a "streaming cable only" and thus expand their subscriber base to the entire USA?

| Probably never. As long as there are caps and the infrastructure not updated/upgraded, if it happens it will be a long time.

| I think the bigger issue will be that the coverage area gains cut both ways. While Time Warner Cable could launch an IP Cable product to expand into Comcast's neighborhood, they know that it wouldn't be long before Comcast did the same and got into previously "safe" Time Warner Cable areas. Any competitive advantage of being the first would be short lived and the "disadvantage" of suddenly having to compete for TV customers in areas where they previously held a virtual monopoly would be severe.
