Re: ?
said by DarkSly  :Bandwidth costs money, and I assume Comcast does not want to raise the price of their HSI offerings (especially considering all people do is bitch about it being too expensive already) That knife cuts both ways: bandwidth costs money and so would offering lower tiers for less money. And that's why you won't see the latter paired with the former unless total demand were to plummet.
What will be fun to watch -- as more industry consolidation takes place -- (in which suppliers will essentially have the power to control, but not create, demand) is how price points will end up shaking out. Which providers are better poised to withstand inflationary markets and forces applied by diminishing returns?
But then there's more to control of the Internet than bandwidth, but that's another thread.
