Bye Cable Guy
from the maximising-efficiencies-in-the-offline-world dept
In our time limited world we really don't want to have to wait all day for home installation of broadband services. This may be one of the problems with broadband adoption. It's expensive to have it installed by the cable guy and it can waste a large part of your working day. Now it seems that leading broadband providers may have figured out how to reduce costs and time wasting by making the installation process easy enough that you can do it yourself. What a relief!Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
