Is the rest of this season worth a 7% hike from Comcast?

From http://www.oregonlive.com/business/index.ssf/2009/02/comcast_sets_rate_hike_on_apri.html

 

Comcast sets rate hike for April 1

by Mike Rogoway, The Oregonian Thursday February 19, 2009, 4:37 PM

The economy's sagging, and cable TV subscriptions are lagging, but the pace of cable rate hikes won't ease up much this year.

Effective April 1, Comcast Corp. plans to raise rates 6.6 percent, $3.59 a month, for its core level of expanded service. That brings the cost of Comcast's "digital starter" package, its most popular, to about $58 a month.

 

 

With the economy going in the tank, is it right for Comcast to just keep sticking it to customers?  I for one am going to be taking a hard look at my TV options.

Lets face it...Memphis needs the money.

First fan post, so go easy on me.. ;)

 

 ESPN attendance stats

 

Last in the league in attendance.  

 

#27 in team net value

Forbes page on the Grizz

They need publicity and fans in the seats any way they can get it.

 

Unfortunately for them, I think that they may not be looking ahead at the reaction that other owners / GMs in the league will have.  There have to be some guys out there with the mindset that if they were in this position, they would be just as angry as the blazers.  Maybe the silver lining to all of this is that Memphis just blackballed itself. :)
