"Pretty cheap" is quite a bit more expensive than free. Believe the parent is referring to an all-you-can-eat vs. PPV for your actively selected viewing pleasure.
- there 16y agothe last time i used comcast for tv service years ago, they had tv shows and a bunch of regularly rotated free movies. if you subscribed to premium channels, you got a lot of the content from those networks available on-demand as well. if cable companies deem netflix a serious problem for them, i would imagine it would be pretty easy to step up their licensing agreements and provide more on-demand content.
- brandall10 16y agoThe front loaded cost of that is pretty high vs. $8 for Netflix though - and we're talking a handful of premium/new releases vs. the Netflix's streaming catalog which has been rapidly growing in size/quality. That said, I can only speak to my experience as a Cox sub from about 4 years back as I've since cut the cord. I agree that big cable should have the power and leverage to stop the bloodletting. I think it's similar to any industry that has coasted along far too long, thinking that it is too big and powerful to fall.
