Time Warner Cable: No Consumer Demand For Gigabit Internet
Freshly Exhumed writes "Chris Welch at The Verge tells us: 'Speaking at the Morgan Stanley Technology Conference moments ago, Time Warner Cable's Chief Financial Officer Irene Esteves seemed dismissive of the impact Google Fiber is having on consumers. "We're in the business of delivering what consumers want, and to stay a little ahead of what we think they will want," she said when asked about the breakneck internet speeds delivered by Google's young Kansas City network. "We just don't see the need of delivering that to consumers."' The article goes on to quote her: '...residential customers have thus far shown little interest in TWC's top internet tiers. "A very small fraction of our customer base" ultimately choose those options.'"
yeah.. I could think of lots of people who would like a gigabit internet connection.
however if it comes with rules I'd think TWC to put on it then whats the point. you get like 5 minutes of service per month so what's the point?
world was created 5 seconds before this post as it is.
They don't need it. HTML5 is better.
My now-ex-wife and I picked places to move based on where the service was available.
That's how I picked my ex-wife!
