    Great news cable is way over priced. I hope more companies follow suit.

    Great idea. I don't care who mentioned it first, it's all about who executes it first.

    I have never used HBO GO. Isn't everything on there re-runs, as in we would have to watch fights a couple days later and not live?

    Cable owns the net transmission lines to most homes in the USA. And there is legislation being lobbied by them to charge higher bandwidth sites. Cable will get their money from online HBO and the consumer. They'll be even richer if it passes.

    Even worse, companies who want to offer Gigabit speeds and compete with cable can't lawfully do it due to all the zoning legislation thanks to cable.
