The story sounds very familiar...
But the postscript tells the real story. The MVPDs have the flexibility to
weather this storm. The good news is that Virtual MVPDs are placing downward
pressure on pricing for the first time in two decades.

How one couple beat the cable company
The breaking point came in July 2012. Our Comcast bill for Internet,
television, and phone hit $184 a month. And that was without premium channels
like HBO. Add cell phones, and our total telecommunications bill was $244.
By last month, we had chopped that to $97 a month – a savings of $1,764 a
year.
But before explaining how we did it, a caution: If you are a diehard Red Sox
fan, this may not work for you. That said, our telecommunications diet plan
is based on four precepts:
1. Pay only for what you use.
2. Buy your own equipment.
3. Mine the Internet for all its riches.
4. Comparison shop (yes, that takes time, but if you’re a cheap geek like me,
it’s part of the fun.)
