There is a merger in the offing, so naturally there is a lot of buzz on the Net about the future of these cable and Internet companies. Unfortunately, a conflict has already arisen which caused some customers to miss the NFL Finals. The conflict was financial in nature, and for a period of time the bundles some customers of DirecTv Las Vegas were paying for were not entirely honored.
America is not new to mergers of telecommunications giants. As usual, the public is not silent about their dissatisfaction with the interruption in service which they deemed as unfair, and it certainly caused the FCC to postpone the merger for a time. Americans on the Internet are never silent about issues with companies that they spend a great deal of money on.
This issue might even be embarrassing to them, as their advertisements have specified that sports fans needed the Genie in order to secure viewing of any Superbowl, as well as games leading up to it. Many households dropped their old cable service providers for this very reason. So while this small conflict might seem like it put egg on their faces, the buzz still says the sports programming offered is the best out there.
Not only that, but it does appear this merger will go through, and should benefit both corporations as well as the consumer. The Internet Service Provider stands to gain a whole new collection of customers, even if they are not gaining additional infrastructure for the products they offer. The cable company will be the ones gaining infrastructure through the U-Verse system, and both entities stand to expand their business.
Due to the controversy, the FCC did impose the 180-day review period for any consumer watchdogs to get their teeth and claws into the nuts and bolts of the deals being negotiated. This past year hsa seen some pretty incredibly unfair fines imposed due to copyright laws recently passed. In addition, the continuation of Internet Neutrality is an issue of great concern to the average consumer.
Getting into the cons of this particular paid television service provider goes to the heart of limits that modern technology can present. Storms, winds, snow, and ice can all have a serious impact on the quality of television service provided. In fact, on the Net, the buzz shows that this one small issue is the primary complaint all current as well as prior customers have.
It seems that any stuctures built near the dish can, on days of rough weather, block the signal in whole or in part. What seems to be a solution, putting the dish higher up, is a terrible idea in northern states that see a great deal of snow and ice. When the dish ices over it has to be cleared out in order to resume service, and few people want to climb on top of a house during a snow storm.
The second most prevalent complaint involves the cost of the bundled services once the trial period expires. This can be anywhere from six months to two years, and the cost of the bundle goes up dramatically. Even so, this complaint is rarely made, as the consumers remain quite satisfied for now and hopefully into the future as these two giants merge.
