Re: No Escape
said by baineschile  :Until broadcast stations lower their prices, cable/telco wont; thanks for charging me 15 bucks a month, espn/espn2/espndeportes/espnclassic/espnu/espnnews/bigtennetwork/nflnetwork Most broadcast stations aren't charging anything, instead expecting free carriage.
As for ESPN et al, there is no requirement on the part of telco or the cable companies to subscribe every customer or pay ransom to the content providers. Its just easier for them to hide behind it... "But Mom! He hit me back first"
We disconnected cable long ago, refusing to pay $60 a month to watch one channel. Cable could get us back, if they let us pay ala-carte. But to date, there are apparently too many sheep willing to pay for ESPN when they don't watch it.
But that will not last forever. |
