Netflix offers incredible value. Don't you think it's irrational for Comcast to offer up this value at the expense of their own profits when they are not being threatened? They are going to milk it for as long as they can.
- sitkack 13y agoMilking it is not a rational choice, expected but not rational. Comcast should have make the Roku, but due to a fixation on the analog cable infrastructure they did not. The amount of analog bandwidth they devote on their networks to digital traffic is a ridiculously small percentage of their capacity. Comcast should have created the caching infrastructure that Akamai did. Comcast should have implemented cloud backup services. They have the capability to have 50+ Mbps from the customer to their datacenters. This is freak'n huge. Why didn't comcast create a colo system so that providers could get as close as possible to the customer? No, Comcast will go down with the Titanic with all of their riches. They have squandered more than they have protected.
