I've been wanting to get ride of cable for a while. Without going back into the whole saga, Optimum/Cablevision sucks. I don't blame them, it's just that they have a monopoly, and it's illegal for me to buy from another cable company.
Anyway, I bought an expensive new tv (because the old one had no way for me to stream from my laptop), and just bought an off-lease desktop for $150. That's like 2-3 months of cable. Everything I watch can be streamed, anyway (netflix, hulu). Not sure how this is going to affect the market long term, though.
My bet is that this is where the "net neutrality" thing started.
What should I ask Bob Spitz?
