Again, how no one saw this coming from a mile away is kind of shocking. They are losing money on cord cutters that prefer streaming. They weren't going to just sit there and take those losses. They had to get their lobbyists to push this agenda
Exactly. And you already see the strategy they plan on implementing. Data caps, but they will offer a streaming service that is "sponsored data" or is 0-rated against your caps. So by abusing their position they can make it hard to go to any other streaming service besides their own. And then the fees and up-charges start happening. They will claim it's simply vertical integration, but in reality it's just anti-competitiveness.
DirecTVNow, Charter has one, Comcast has one, and I think Cox is starting one, just to name a few.
