Boynton Beach, FL | Not a defense... Not a defense of the cable / media industry, I've dropped cable TV altogether at this point, but its probably worth noting that I don't believe Google is making a lot of money on the premium channels - especially considering their subscriber base. As others have already pointed out, Google probably intends to monetize in ways a traditional MSO could not. |

| Does anyone know what this is doing to the other ISP/Cable tv providers in the area? Are the worried or don't really give a crap? Seems like this could only drive prices down which would really shocking. |

I believe that TWC (literally) said "Bring it on", and AT&T said very little on the subject. I'd have to dig up the article... Ah, here it is.

There are also some rumors that TWC is talking with Level3 about improving their transit capacity. I don't know what they have up their sleeve, but I'm betting they'll either raise speeds and bundle people at prices below what Google has to offer, or they're going to be offering standalone 100mbps cable for under the $70/mo from Google. 100/10 for $50/month without a contract would do quite a bit of damage to Google's 1Gbps offer. |

00000 | I like how "bring it on" by TWC is offering speeds 1/10th of Google's download and upload speeds 1/100th. It's like they aren't really trying to even complete. |
