In fact, there is a very real possibility that the cable companies are mere muppets controlled by major content providers and that the removal of the cable providers won't diminish the number of content aggregators in existence. In other words, the market may very well not become any more competitive simply by changing platforms from TV to computer. Either way, nobody is buying a bundle that they don't want. Customers might prefer a la carte (it's cheaper), but NOBODY is buying ANYTHING that they don't want. 100% of cable subscribers think that they are getting at least their money's worth from their cable agreement, otherwise they wouldn't purchase cable. 2 Name one contradiction. Without any grounds whatsoever, you accuse me saying "the same things over and over and over again," and then you accuse me of contradicting myself, which is ironic, because your statement is a contradiction in an of itself. If I am in fact repeating myself ad nauseum, then I cannot be contradicting myself. I would be contradicting myself if I kept changing my story. You keep making unsubstantiated statements that are clearly erroneous on their face. 3. And there's no room for negotiation because, using your lawyer analogy, you just keep making a series of unsubstantiated legal conclusions. It would be like a defense lawyer standing up, saying that his client is innocent, and then resting his case and sitting down and expecting a jury to believe him after the prosecution spent the entire morning clearly establishing evidence against the defendant. It's crazy. [/QUOTE]
