Yes, over the last couple of years, while making the annual "call-to-comcast-to-avoid-being-ripped-off-completely", I've noticed that their TV/phone bundles get juicier and they are seemingly much more aggressive to bait-and-switch you to those packages.
What I see here is a sign that ultimately, the fate of this industry is to follow the path of record companies towards irrelevance. The only difference being that record companies could only still make a few dimes selling ringtones, while comcast still faces close to zero competition as a decent internet provider in many areas.
Speaking of Hulu/Netflix, make no mistake, they will gradually replace cable companies in terms of being crippled with ads and too expensive and I guarantee you that we will hate them equally.
