In my region, it's already cheaper to get a package with cable TV than just internet. I have friends that don't even take the cable set of of the shipping box. I assume Comcast's per subscriber cost to cable channels is lower than the ads revenue from artificially inflating subscriber numbers.
- mikeash 11y agoIt's been this way just about forever in many places. I remember getting cable internet like this in college in the early 2000s, and it was pretty common knowledge that you always checked to see if the package with basic cable was cheaper rather than insisting on an internet-only subscription.
