Power Companies Offering Cable (TV, Net) Service

Posted by timothy on from the and-not-just-promising dept.

MankyD writes "CNN is running an interesting story about a power company offering cheap cable and broadband internet to its customers. What's even better is that they aren't looking to make a profit, just break even on the venture. They estimate that they've saved their customers $32 million. Furthermore, it's available in a rural area where the telecomms don't offer service anyways."

    Suuure they plan to just break even...'til they corner the market. No company goes into a venture to "just break even". There's no point in it...and you can't sell that to shareholders.
