[IP Democracy] In other words, Verizon is artificially keeping prices high for its triple-play customers and artificially keeping prices low for its DSL-only customers (by artificial I mean not these prices are not justified by the underlying cost structure). Under this scenario, Verizon may be keeping its DSL-only customers happier but it’s risking, to some degree, defection of its triple-play customers, or, at the minimum, isn’t offering its voice-video-data customers an additional reason to stick around.
