Hopefully the FCC...Slippery slope is exactly right. Hopefully the FCC takes a hard look at this quickly, because while this Streampix thing isn’t a huge deal, it could set a precedent for some very, very bad business practices. I don’t buy their explanation either. If that’s the case, why bother calling it a ‘streaming’ service at all? I think that it’s more likely that they know their streaming option isn’t up to snuff so they’re trying to strong-arm their customers into it. It would be better for their customers if they simply put out a great streaming service. Other companies have done it, and it’s not like Comcast is a small company, so why not? As an example of what I mean, my employer, DISH made excellent use of Blockbuster when they created the Blockbuster @Home service. It gives me video game and movie rentals by-mail, a bunch of high definition movie channels, and of course, unlimited streaming—all for a very reasonable price. Come up with something like that Comcast! Competition is good, especially for us consumers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
