About 18 percent of Comcast customers actually buy the triple play. And there seems to be some resistance to the notion, despite its fundamental importance for both cable and telephone companies these days.
Qwest executives, for example, have discovered they are leaving money on the table by not selling single play and dual play services more aggressively.
Comcast says it is going to do the same. The triple or quadruple play might be the fundamental packaging strategy.
That doesn't mean every customer is going to buy such a package. And there are lots of reasons why that could be the case. Lack of interest, lack of money, lack of one specific feature, inability to use subscriber identity modules, lack of availability of a specific handset or programming network, contract terms, sticker shock and lack of awareness all can be barriers to triple or quad play adoption.
