Re: Typical response from big cable

Big cable lost 588k video subs month ending June 30th. Dish and Directv lost 62k subs.

Home phone service has increased but like I said once people figure out they don't need it and can be fine just with cell service those numbers will start to go down as well.

TWC doesn't own content company so they are at a disadvantage right now unlike Comcast who does. Comcast better positioned to fight off becoming dump pipe.

TWC's largest shareholder does. And TWC does own content they own local sports networks. Something they can keep from Google. And yet you still won't have people that drop a home phone line. Why? 911, Medial Life Alert services, etc. MLAs, don't work well with cellular and are rarely supported.

Folks have been dropping home phone for last decade. Where have you been on that just look at quarterly reports from VZ and ATT. RSN are good content for those that want it but so far the video pie of customers is shrinking for Cable/Telco and Dish and accelerating. Numbers show that video and wireline phone service customers are in net decline year over year. Writing is on wall, dump pipe is future for a lot of these broadband companies. They'll go kicking and screaming but a dump they will be.
