    I don’t understand the whole brand thing.  Like RCN buys WoW and
    rebrands it Astound?  Personally I would not choose a name that
    sounds like AssTown. And AT&T had UVerse but then the geniuses
    decided to rebrand it … AT&T Internet!  Or Viasat buys WildBlue,
    renames it Exede, then renames that … Viasat!

    Personally I think they do it when the trucks need repainting.

        At least in the case of Comcast, they see their "cable
        business" (NBC
        included) as declining value, so they are shifting their
        revenue stream to the one thing they have left.

        jacking up the rates, sometimes by up to 20%. I’m wondering
        whether it’s market forces, compensating for overspending on
        govt subsidized builds that they now have to recoup, or just
        because they can? What are you seeing in other markets?
