| I just ordered Comcast cable (I'm moving) While there's a certain appeal to cutting the (television) cord from my provider, I can't. I thoroughly enjoy my Giganews subscription but I still can't bring myself to kill my cable bill. Live sports are still a complete failure on the internet - I dare anyone to try NHL's online video product. The streams are all 20 fps and the quality feels like it was shot on a wide screen cell phone.
Plus, how do you present entertainment options when guests come over? Sorry, I threw out my cable box. Here's Binsearch instead! There's something to be said for passive entertainment. Even Apple's new TV product still requires you to find "what you want" versus "what's on right now".
Despite my negative opinion of Craig Moffett, Craig's right here. Cable has many free and non-free competitors and raising prices in a crappy economy is going to cost you subscribers.
In a dream world a third carrier would be the answer to Cable/Satellite/ILEC's non-price competition. Unfortunately, the FCC is too busy being stocking with former industry executives...

My in-laws know we have no TV service and they won't be watching any TV here. No hockey games for you! If they have a problem with that, then don't visit. See there's another advantage of no TV!
