A price of $40 per month seems to be fine for cable companies. The only cable entity in trouble is @Home. Road Runner customers have no such issues. If @Home folds then the cable companies will just find alternative backbone providers. Comcast has already started doing so. I think that @Home will go under soon and the cable companies will not miss a beat. The service will go on uninterrupted. They have too much at stake to allow for a service outage to occur. |
