Cable Pricing Wars

With HBO and Showtime allowing cord cutters the streaming option and with Slingbox and Apple giving customers options, will cable companies finally start to cut pricing?
I say no. The idiots will probably try to raise prices to offset the loses.

Probably raise Internet only prices. They know you still need them for that.

You think Cox has been placing caps on Data Plans and not enforcing them just because they want you to know how much data you are using?
Expect to get hit for internet fees plus overage fees in the future.

The only way for them to cut prices is to allow a truly a-la-cart option. Once they do that, the number of channels will significantly drop.
Will the average consumer keep 150 channels for $30 and say, well it's only 20 cents for this channel, lets keep it. Or will they say, I only watch 10 channels, here's my $2.
Personally, the sports channels dictate my satellite package. If I could get all of the sports channels and a handful of others, I would spend a lot less per month.

Yes
and thats why they are trying to do 2 year contracts and offering 6 month incentives for initial sign ups.
