Its all on Equal Footing

It will all equal out. Cablecos dont have any wireless phones or providers, which telcos do and own. Cablecos will lag behind in this area. Telcos will lag behind in the tv area....It will all come down to who has the most reliable, most readily available and cheapest service....Let the battles begin!

If their plan of TV over IP involves a Microsoft set top box, I will refuse to support their service.

I personally would pay 150 a month just for a super fast pipe like a 15/15 or 30/30 symetrical fiber connection.

Let's not forget about the CableCo/SprintNextel Joint Venture. It wouldn't be too hard for an MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) to be set up by that entity to immediately give the CableCos a Cellular provider. Think of it along the lines of Boost, Virgin Wireless, Disney, ESPN.

CableCos (at least the ones in the JV) are a lot closer than you think.

Why is a Microsoft set top box bad?
