"We would if we could...the model is changing but it's going to take a while. For one thing, the IP network can't handle the multicast programming that RF (radio frequency i.e. cable) can. Consider 50% of the homes on your node (100 or so probably) watching 2 HD tvs with 4 ipads cranking. You'd be begging for dialup." - Gregg Smith
"The MSOs (like us) would like nothing more than to give our subscribers more choice and quit using our bandwidth to provide a ridiculous amount of irrelevant and unwatched programming. The Disney/Fox/ComcastNBC/CBS oligopoly require us to carry all this crap. The FCC requires us to PAY to carry local broadcast stations where we provide eyeballs to that broadcasters normally wouldn't get increasing ad revenue. It's a broken model--we agree. The economics to the MSOs for video aren't nearly what you, Fred and 99% of everyone else assumes. Y'all are smarter than that." - Gregg Smith

fancycwabs: They were handing out cheese samples at Publix when I went to grab a sandwich for munch. The Gouda had already been consumed at the time of this photo. (It should be noted that I don’t take all the cheese samples as a rule. The samplemaster insisted I try one of each.) WHY DON’T YOU TRY ALL THE SAMPLES? YOU SHOULD TRY ALL THE SAMPLES.... - http://taterhead.tumblr.com/post...
