| Re: Please buy Mediacom said by Chris 313 :Someone will eventually. Charter, on their current path, is heading for bankruptcy. TWC is a likely candidate. If Charter does fall apart, they're more likely to go out piecemeal -- large parts of their operations in the Southeast, for instance, make much more sense for Comcast and Cox (not to mention the fact that both TWC and Cox cannot own cable systems in the Atlanta area.)

| said by drslash :Somebody has to be able to do things better than these people have been...then again...the better the devil you know! The problem is the territories that Mediacom owns. I think TW would invest a lot less time and money than Mediacom even if they have more resources. This was the problem with TCI and AT&T; as far behind as Mediacom looks, these areas were even farther behind under AT&T. Unfortunately, I think Mediacom's management of their territories is going downhill. I just don't think TW or a similar company would make any real improvements though. One of the biggest problems though with Mediacom is that the squeaky wheel gets the grease. The better a franchise is managed by local government, the better the outcomes they get. While service might become more even, it would probably just become evenly bad. -- ISCABBS - the oldest and largest BBS on the Internet telnet://whip.isca.uiowa.edu Professional Geographer Geographic Information Science researcher | |

| said by marigolds :The problem is the territories that Mediacom owns. Mediacom is one of the most inconsistent cable companies I've ever seen -- they're as inconsistent if not more so than Charter. At least they aren't uniformly terrible like some smaller companies (Northland, Cebridge, etc.) are...
