I just got this little "invitation" from Comcast, as though it was an exciting exclusive thing to agree to "test" the TV Everywhere program. I read the terms and it caught my eye the little statement about Comcast being able to start charging you anytime for the services. Don't look a horse in the mouth. Nothing is ever free and particularly something offered by Comcast. Be suspicious of snake oil salesmen and the sneaky underhanded marketing techniques used today. Their intent is to steal away what freedom we have on the Internet and collect as many additional fees as suckers, I mean customers are going to fork over.

My experience with Time Warner was heinous. Why oh why anyone would ever join with them is beyond me.

Okay since some of you people don’t seem to get the point. This is not about giving people more choice. If it was, there would be a simple log in. This is about controlling you. It’s the same reason USA is pulling old episodes. If you get people into a show and then pull the old episodes so new people can’t get into the show. Great lack of a business model, if it’s working break it.

@RonF

Advertisers are not really paying for the entire content. They pick and choose and for all the content that is created.. the advertising money is not enough.

As consumers we would ideally like to have everything free but there is an economic activity the loop of which needs to be closed with the money coming to the owners of the content.

Also, even with the advertisement led model, the consumers are still paying for it. Companies mark up the end product post their considering their marketing spends.

Thinks like this make me sick.

Such tactics to keep their bottomline, at the expense of their customers and others is just sickening.
