The hypothesis here seems to be that Comcast will be charging internet users more than warranted to subsidize TV. Did the author consider that at one point Comcast might realize theres no point in artificially extending the life of technology that has been lapped in the past century?
Of course we all have our fingers crossed that this eureka moment comes before the bumbling kids that make up their leadership team have lobbied or filtered and "traffic shaped" the internet to death.
The specifics don't matter. Comcast has a goose that lays golden eggs and they will extract as much money from it as possible. There is nothing to "realize".
