Not the worse angle we've seen
I think Karl Denninger has this one called right: http://market-ticker.org/post=173522
I'd have to disagree with his viewpoint. If customer is using resource X and you're not able to remain profitable, than you're not charging customer enough for the resource in question. This is just a backdoor attempt to raise the cost to the customer without them seeing it. If Comcast were to raise the price to the customer directly, I think you'd see defection to other services (if available in the area, like DSL or Clearwire). Doesn't Verizon FIOS provide 50-150Mb/s to the home now for the same cost as Comcast? Exhorting a carrier of content to your customer can't be a good business decision. -- Brandon Galbraith US Voice: 630.492.0464
