Re: Waaaaa
To me, though, this comes back to anti-trust tactics. The big boys leverage their monopolistic advantage with all the $$$ to undercut everyone else so as only to run them out of business. Then, they raise their prices back up until the next person comes along.
I think it is time for the SEC to jump in again and stop these actions.
As far as the muni trying to match Comcast, their may be no feasible way to do that. I am sure that Comcast has calculated just how much it is costing the muni to run their system. Then Comcast cuts their rates to below what the muni can afford to charge. If the muni then drops their rates to below Comcast, then they lose money and wind up going out of business. Comcast has probably figured out just how long this will take to do and that is why the promotion is 16 months.
Comcast can afford to lose money in this locality because they will funnel money from all their other over priced areas to cover the loss. In the end it is a no win situation for the muni. |
