Comcast Won't Compete for Over the Top Video Customers Outside its Franchise Areas

Comcast Corp. says it will not offer streaming video services that can be purchased by customers outside its own franchise areas.
The economic hurdle is too great for the operator to consider going over the top with subscription streaming video services that would compete not only with Netflix, but with other cable TV operators, according to As Comcast Chairman and CEO Brian Roberts.

If you know the cable industry, you knew he would say that. Cable companies simply do not compete with each other.
