ATTN: All Time Warner Cable Subscribers
« on: November 27, 2009, 07:27:09 PM »
It seems the staff of Time Warner Cable has had it with networks raising rates, especially after last year when they've avoided a near Viacom blackout. So they've put together a site called "Roll Over or Get Tough".

Let's face it: Cable shouldn't be a luxury item.

Well, I find it interesting that we haven't heard much about other cable providers having these kinds of issues (at least none have been announced). Is Time Warner just not a big enough company to handle it, or is Time Warner Cable just the one tough enough to speak out about this?

Haven't heard any other cable company coming up with a a similar campaign, so I'm guessing...yeah, Time Warner's the only one taking a stand on this issue.
