Or less fatigue, but when companies raise prices people reevaluate if they will keep the service.....

I.e. geowizard went from $2 a month for premium to $10... What I was happy leaving on in the background to support a small developer became a easy and emphatic no.

The paper says cable satellite spending grew last year by 11%... That's not new customer growth, that's squeezing existing customers. Maybe this difference is a generational difference, boomers just eat the price increase and take it, younger people turn off the service and reject it.
