Re: [News] Is Comcast coming?
Boston Market - yuck - the one in Sarasota, FL was the pits and bad service. Haven't been to an IHOP in years. Although the rumor persist that they are coming to Springfield, IL.
As for the Comcast is taking over Insight argument. This has been rumored for years as well. We have seen some areas switch do to agreements expiring. That happened earlier this year or was that last year?
Insight has been taken private. So it's not likely we'll see any information publicly. Until any such deal has taken place.
Could it occur? Yes. Is it likely? In some regards - yes. Is consolidation something that is happening all around the communications and technology sector? You bet it is. Many major deals have just gone down this week. And several that have been ongoing are getting close to being finalized.
I do agree that it is annoying seeing commercials on local channels for places you can't frequent. We had Boston Market commercials on one station all the time. And I think the closest one ( if it exist ) may be in Champaign. At least the station that ran the ads served that market.:) Even though it's office and facilities are in Springfield.
These most likely are just national ads being shown in the local area.
