Hat tip to Miguel who caught these comments on video from Wednesday’s meeting. Thanks for doing this, and for holding up what I suppose is a cell phone for that long! There are three segments.

Great job!
Did they say by chance when they will bring this up again for statements and questions? I want to make sure I am off work the next time this comes up.
I am an Austin resident that moves to Rochester last year. (I know.. I am the +1 that added to rochester’s population count) AT first…. i thought that the third guy… needs to be quiet. He raiesd a valid point about what they consider a test market. If this was a test market, they would offer it to existing customers and new customers and take that data of who took advantage of the offer, that would be a test. Forcing it down the throat of your users is not a test. Imagine this: 9 out of 10 people that we… Read more »
What is the procedure to decertify Time Warner’s ability to run a cable monopoly?
Short sleeves? If I want capped internet usage, I’m moving to Austin. This snow can bite me.
91 yesterday afternoon
I was the first speaker. The Austin Telecom Commision decides which topics are put on the agenda for the meetings. Since this topic wasn’t already on the agenda, they could only hear public concerns…..no questions or debate on the topic. Hopefully the commission will decide to put it on the agenda for next month and open it up for questions and debate. I can tell you that a few of the commisioners are just as concerned as we are, so it’s very likely this will happen.
I saw a major problem. The lack of people that cared enough to be there and speak. 6 just dont cut it. I hope that we do better in the future. I hope the Massa town hall meetings are filled. If you want to meet Phil im betting he will be in Pittsford tonight. Its like a 5 minute drive. Just a guess) Im not sure where Louise Slaughter stands on the issues but we could us her help to. She is a pit bull and what Louise wants she usually gets. Three people from congress is a very good… Read more »
I watched these videos, and here is where I see an issue. Several of the speakers were complaining about how the caps will hurt their business, when clearly TW has noted that the caps will not be placed on business accounts. These people were using home accounts when they clearly should have been using Business accounts. That approach is NOT going to fly. What will hold more water is how it will effect students (like myself) and their ability to meet education goals, people that will use VOIP, and how TW is using the caps to control competition through online… Read more »
Should Time/Warner institute this new way to rape its costumers it will prove the final straw for me. I shall immeatiately cease being their costomer. I wiil go back to dial up and save over $100.00 a month. They can also kiss good bye the other services I now have. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH !!!
Posted on BroadBand.com The bandwidth crisis Hobbs is talking about is their own problem because they won’t upgrade to DOCSIS 3. TW could upgrade to DOCSIS 3 at the rock bottom price of $20-50 per subscriber, that cost would be immediately recouped by the profit they make off their RR service. The real problem is that TW doesn’t want to spend a dime of the $4 billion in profit they are already making each year on RR customers… they want to create a new profit stream that will support their upgrades to DOCSIS 3, so it doesn’t hurt their current… Read more »
