Cable companies should be out of the network business entirely. People should be able to directly link to networks, via their cable provider or satellite service, in much the same manner as people call others on the telephone. The cable provider should only be able to charge for installing & maintaining the link. Charging for network access is similar for charging you different rates for whoever you dial on your telephone!That's why the channels usually win in these situations. People have very little contact with the channels other than watching them, but people have awful experiences with their cable providers. It's hard to be sympathetic to cable companies whose business model is to punish you with price increases the longer you stay with them. In the end both sides will look bad and TW customers will have to pay more.
Is it done any differently, elsewhere?Ah, good ole Amurican capitalism at work!
Telecom companies are some of the most obvious examples of why our economy is shit.
What's your bright idea, then?
Really? It seemed like an insiped, snide remark.my statement was a joke about the irony of "american capitalism" and how it's not capitalism it all
