| The $300 "Ultra" entrance fee
The deployment, which combined with DOCSIS 3.0 upgrades cost $300 million . . .
Could that explain how CV really arrived at its controversial $300 figure: charge each customer buying Ultra (DOCSIS 3.0) exactly one ten-thousandth of the total deployment cost?

| Seeing as how Cablevision already makes a hefty profit off of their current business model, I think they're obligated to reinvest at least some of those profits into their network. Their activation fees are rather unfair to the consumer, but also likely a deterrent to prevent abrupt mass migration of power users to their highest tier. |

I think you mean one *millionth*. 300 million for 1 million users equates to that 300 per user. |

They're not obligated to do anything except compete and amke a profit 
Though reinvesting in infrastructure is a very good thing. |

Do you mean one millionth? Not sure how this is relevant to this news article either (or why people were up in arms about the $300 price to begin with). |
