Oh, I thought Craig was asking why should the DBS companies care. That's what
I answered.
Why *we* should care, you mean, if a single company has the nationwide
monopoly of broadband *and* old-style TV broadcast streams? Is that question
just to fill up space?
No it was real.
You keep telling us that the MVPD services are dying, that there is a massive
exodus of cord cutters. So who cares if they consolidate as they die?
You answered you own question in the other response. The issue is not TV, it is
broadband. As much as you love the ability of the Internet to support
competition, in the end, we will still be buying the crucial broadband service
from government regulated monopolies.
