You're so gullible. The premium services that "remain ad free" are the reason why MVPD monthly bills have gone up faster than inflation, Craig.
And you are so predictable. The MVPDs have never been ad free except for the pay-per-view and premium channels I already identified. They are a classic example of double dipping, enabled by government regulation. 




 Businesses can GROW by offering consumers things they WANT.
There's no escaping the fact that all of these growth curves are S curves. Consumers used to go running after the cable truck, and now their fees grow faster than inflation.
The MVPDs ARE NOT growing. People are fed up and looking for alternatives. But there is no competition for much of what they deliver, and thus are able to keep people paying through the nose if they want this content. 




 Currently there is o viable option to the MVPDs. And PLEASE don;t bother
 trying to convince us that DTV is a viable option.


That's just the attitude the MVPDs want to see. Heh.


That is the attitude of a monopolist, in cahoots with the politicians.
