Brainatra isn't denying that such services are cheaper for whichever amalgamated company will result from combining this service. What he is doubting, rightly so, is whether these companies will pass on the profits to the average consumer. Remember, these companies don't exist to serve the public... they exist to make as much money for themselves as possible through their services. And since cable deregulations, which supposedly have reduced costs for the cable companies, yet cable consumers haven't seen lower prices. Thinking that reduced company costs will automatically result in reduced consumer costs, based on history, is a bit naiive.
Well yhea you have a point but at first when they are competing with the phone company they probably would probably provide a cheap service till the phone company kicks the bucket or does not hold very much of a market share.
