I spent the morning dealing with the dentist and some significant tooth pain, which could end up leading to another delightful root canal. It’s times like these when I like to share the pain. Back on April 2nd, Time Warner CEO Glenn Britt spoke with CNBC reporter Julia Boorstin about Britt’s thoughts on Internet Overcharging, the state of the cable industry, the growing reliance Time Warner Cable has on its broadband products, and where online video fits into the picture. Although Time Warner Cable shelved the consumption billing experiment, the belief in such billing experiments has not changed.
Virtually everything else in the interview remains largely the same for the company, including the all-important topic of TV Everywhere and online video content, which is back in the news.
If you want to understand the challenges facing big cable, this is must-see-online-TV. (Check out the unintentionally ominous background music which appropriately turns up around four minutes in.)
