Re: won't save a dime

Mr Astroturfer. Go turf somewhere else. The math is really simple. The second one is not forced to shove sports into basic level packages the price for TV goes down. Now the crazy prices of internet that's whole another topic and it mainly due to ISP monopoly. (slow options don't really count)

how the hell is he astroturfer?!
What is says is very reasonable and realistic.
Yes, we all want alacarte, but none of the cable companies will allow it if it means they get a measly $20/household.
They will resist it for as long as possible until it will come to gov't involvement. At that point they will offer you alacarte for $20/channel, so your same 4-8 channels will turn into the same $100+ bill.
CableCo's excuse will be they worked to bundle channels to save you money. But now you don't get that bundle which means you are paying equivalent of MSRP for those channels.

This is not astroturfing. This is a realistic point of view of how cable industry will behave when faced with 90% revenue drop.
