    And it can be on the Satellites IF the Blazers require it to be so. Otherwise, probably won't happen. A cable company can make more, charge more if they don't put it on the Satellites.
    The ball is in the Blazers court, get the games to the whole area, or ignore like last time. The Warriors did it right. Damn! Wish hope the Blazers do.

    It's running about 4 Mbps down now. .9 up It runs about 1.6 Mbps down during the day/evening. Which is much faster than we had before we could get the DSL

    I think we have like the entry level comcast internet. Don't even know to tell you the truth. I do know it takes a second to buffer when floating on Netflix......

    Comcast, pay for 50mbs, they'll give you 60. I pay $59 a month.

    Well, Roots did offer the Mainers a 2 billion dollar deal over 17 years, which is slightly more than 20 million per year.

    So if Roots wanted to, they could offer more. They just didn't expect Comcast to go ape shit in 07, and offer significantly more $$ than they were.

    As for the profitability of the team, were are you hearing they lost 5 million?

    All that said, I suspect the Blazers care little to none about who can watch the games and only care about who gives them the most $$, and if thats comcast (under the same circumstances as the current contract) thats what they'll sign. Money talks and bullshit walks.
