Re: Ridiculous I'm pretty sure the title says Cable Industry. Verizon and AT&T are not part of the Cable Industry. |

| Yes they are, what are you talking about? The misleading story even included Satellite in with the losses.
176k+169k= 345k , now add Satellite 52k+10k DTV and Dish respectively, and this gets the article to their 100% , intentionally misleading, 400K mark.
So, Cable and Satellite are part of the "cable industry", but FiOS and Uverse are not. OK buddy. |

| Headline isn't misleading. AT&T/Verizon are telecom companies, as that is their primary business. Satellite qualifies as a cable co, because they make their money on TV service just like Comcast, TWC, et al. That title is spot on.
from the reuters article:
directv: -52k
comcast: -176k
twc: -169k
dish: -10k
(-52k)+(-176k)+(-169k)+(-10k) = 407k loss customers across the entire tv service market. |

Boston, MA | Really, though, the distinction is meaningless. The pertinent point is how many people are paying for TV. You're not "cutting the cord" if you switch to TV service through a telecom. Still a net loss even with the telecom adds, but not as spectacular as without. |

Its 100% misleading. If you thinking a customer going from cable/satellite to TelcoTV is "cutting the cord" I suggest you go back to facebook and hang out there. |
