 |
|
A few months ago, a bunch of the big cable companies did some horse-
trading. Some cities switched from Adelphia to Comcast, some from
Comcast to Time-Warner cable (if I recall correctly), and there were
some other changes.
Did Portland Oregon change from Comcast to something else?
And if so, to whom?
All my emails to my kin in Portland with Comcast acounts are now
bouncing back to me. I wonder if there was a cable change there. |

Here in Texas, we were swapped from Comcast to Roadrunner. Now our
email addresses changed
from whatever@comcast.net
to whatever@tx.rr.com.
and the email is managed by Adelphia mail servers. |

Concast still operates in Portland, OR. |

Maybe your "kin" don't want to receive any more emails from you. I can't
imagine that your kin would have had a change of something as significant as
their mail servers name and not be notified of such a change. |

Anything like that planned for Sacramento,
California? |

The changes were a result of the collapse, and eventual break-up of
Adelphi, and are now over.
In the '90s there were lots of changes and consolidations as various
smaller MSO's went out of business, and the larger MSO's molded their
empires. Those days are over, too.
You may see some of the smaller, mostly rural single system operators
taken over by their larger neighbors, especially in areas where the
local phone company rolls-out IP TV over fiber, but you're unlikely to
see any major markets changing hands unless another mid-sized MSO goes
under, and there aren't many of them left.
So don't hold your breath for any changes in cities the size of
Sacramento for at least the next five years, and probably longer. You're
more likely to see behind the scenes internal changes related to
dividing of regions, divisions and districts, and such. In an extreme
case, your channel line-ups might change, but even big changes in that
area wouldn't be a good bet.
