I wonder if cable companies go to tier pricing, will they be able to guarentee a C.I.R.(Committed Information Rate) for their platforms. They should if they are going to go with tier pricing. What guarentee will there be for someone who pays for premium service is only getting the speed of an economic service. Will premium service subscribers be moved to faster networks to ensure they get what they pay for?
Tier pricing will ultimately cost more than flat rates currently do. I think cable companies are pulling one here to generate more revenue. If tier pricing generates more revenue, it will get done.
