Re: Ridiculous

Headline isn't misleading. AT&T/Verizon are telecom companies, as that is their primary business. Satellite qualifies as a cable co, because they make their money on TV service just like Comcast, TWC, et al. That title is spot on.

from the reuters article:

directv: -52k
comcast: -176k
twc: -169k
dish: -10k

(-52k)+(-176k)+(-169k)+(-10k) = 407k loss customers across the entire tv service market.

Really, though, the distinction is meaningless. The pertinent point is how many people are paying for TV. You're not "cutting the cord" if you switch to TV service through a telecom. Still a net loss even with the telecom adds, but not as spectacular as without.

Its 100% misleading. If you thinking a customer going from cable/satellite to TelcoTV is "cutting the cord" I suggest you go back to facebook and hang out there.
