I know quite a few people today who live without phone, cable TV.. and gasp! Internet! why? Because they can’t afford it.

But nobody is coming to their door saying... you HAVE to fit this into your budget.

It’s an option. And since it’s an option that gives ALL the power to the customer.

that gives ALL the power to the customer.
Yeah, power to pull the plug and watch local stations. Some "power."
And do you think the cable company gives a $hit if you bail on them? They just raise the rates on the remaining customers.
This is the exact same scenario Kodak went through with their film sales beginning in the 1980s. As they lost market share to Fuji Film, their only response ever was to just raise their prices.
