Now Comcast is trying to stiff arm the Big Ten Network, but I am pretty sure they are going to lose this battle. Comcast seems to have done pretty so far in convincing the public that the Big Ten Network is at fault here. Penn State will have 3 of 5 games on the Big Ten Network in September. How many of the last 7 games will be on the Big Ten Network in October and November? The Big Ten Network has games as leverage, and I hope they dig their cleats into Comcast's neck.

I don't want the Golf Channel, E! Entertainment Television, Versus and Style. Why should I (and everybody else) pay for all this crap when a Big Ten football game is on that has high viewership numbers.]]>Sep 21st 2007 2:56PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/21/nfl-network-cries-to-the-fcc/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/21/nfl-network-cries-to-the-fcc/

It would seem that the bulk would make such tactics a little tough. Now if it were an 800 lb Gorilla engaging in guerilla tactics, I could buy that, because who would suspect a Gorilla of conducting espionage or subtle sabotage? Such a thing would truly be comcastic...]]>Sep 21st 2007 5:32PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/21/nfl-network-cries-to-the-fcc/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/21/nfl-network-cries-to-the-fcc/Sep 21st 2007 4:46PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/21/nfl-network-cries-to-the-fcc/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/21/nfl-network-cries-to-the-fcc/Sep 21st 2007 4:55PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/21/nfl-network-cries-to-the-fcc/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/21/nfl-network-cries-to-the-fcc/Sep 21st 2007 4:58PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/21/nfl-network-cries-to-the-fcc/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/21/nfl-network-cries-to-the-fcc/Sep 21st 2007 5:17PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/21/nfl-network-cries-to-the-fcc/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/21/nfl-network-cries-to-the-fcc/
"Gorilla

A company that dominates an industry without having a complete monopoly.

Investopedia Commentary

This term is a reference to the old jokes about the 800-pound gorillas, who "do whatever they want." For example, you'll hear people say 'Microsoft is an 800-pound gorilla.'"

I don't know about this, but I know ESPN is one of those gorillas that are reputed to charge more than any other channel because they can. Mabye NFL Channel is following that model. At least ESPN is a multi-sport channel. NFL wants their own single-sport channel on the base tier of every cable provider? That's a bit much and clearly arrogant.]]>Sep 24th 2007 12:53AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/21/nfl-network-cries-to-the-fcc/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/09/21/nfl-network-cries-to-the-fcc/
