Why wouldn telecom companies want to maximize their number of customers by providing video services to everyone in our community?
The telecoms’ objective is not necessarily more customers, but more profits. Because adding video service to the telecom system will require major system upgrades, the monopoly telecom companies would prefer to make those investments only in areas that they believe will be the most lucrative. This means they plan to cherry-pick affluent suburbs for service while ignoring lower-income neighborhoods.
