Again if insight hasnt sold their remaining interest to Comcast, the figures already show with the few markets they have left and the loss of their programming discount through Comcast they are going to ahve enough problems keeping the current markets proftiable. Taking on new markets isnt going to be part of that equation. |

Its odd because the lady acted like Charter wanted to dumb my area pretty quickly and that it has been for sale for a while now. |

I was afraid of "Sigecom" buying out Washington and Vincennes. They are apparantly already putting up lines in Vincennes. It would make sense that they would buy them but I hope not. »www.sigecom.com They are much more expensive than charter. |

That's funny because the previous incarnation of the power company here in Evansville IN (Sigeco) put out a videotape called "smaller is better" quite a while back. Now they are long gone...replaced by the demonic corporation known as Vectren. So much for "smaller is better", huh? |

Exactly, there are not many companies south of Indy. I believe there are only insight, comcast, and
charter. So if Charter is selling then its a 50/50 shoot |

Well if they buy insight they will get a lot of systems south of Indy. and since charter systems are for sale that are only 20 miles away from insight systems i kinda figured either comcast or insight would buy them |

That is why i think Comcast will want Insight- Kokomo, Nobesville, Anderson, Etc. Etc. I don't think Comcast will be interested in anything south of Indy...... |

well Comcast provides services in northern Indiana. But, in southern indiana its pretty well charter or insight...and in a few cases Time warner. Around here its mainly insight...just charter in a few areas. |

Comcast already decided to pull out, Its just a matter of time before they strike a deal. I have been told by several Comcast employees as well as other employees of cable systems that Comcast in mainly interested in systems in northern Indiana and Illinois. Hence why i think Insight will buy Charter Indiana, too make up for whatever lose they have post Comcast |

And we have still yet to hear the results of what went down with the contract between them and comcast at the end of last year. For all we know right Comcast could be pulling out leaving insight with not nearly enough subscribers to turn a profit much less, absorb another system. |
