Re: Internet Prices Going Through The Roof?

Cable and Phone companies will have to compete with the Wireless companies that provide 4G speeds, and it doesn't surprise me that they are talking about matching the wireless companies with a tiered pricing scale. It'll also protect their TV interests, as those teetering on cutting cable for straight internet may think twice if it'll cost more to do straight internet vs. cable/internet.

I don't think it'll cripple the streaming media sites, but it could curb their growth. However, I think people will just grin and bear it just as they have with every other type of price change/gouge they've occurred.
