Microsoft Corporation (MSFT): Comcast Corporation (CMCSA)’s Skype Problems

Page 2 of 2

Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:CMCSA) has been shedding video customers with every passing quarter, servicing 359,000 fewer customers than it had a year earlier. However, what the average customer is paying has climbed 8% over the past year, to $155 a month.

Do you see the problem? Instead of the growing companies in video that are making their platforms valuable without raising prices, Comcast is encouraging cord cutters to keep snipping. Offering high-def video conferencing through PCs was a great idea on paper, but it fell apart when Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:CMCSA) got greedy.
