Comcast-Netflix deal could mean lower prices for cable subscribers



Mark Kiesel, deputy CIO at PIMCO, says the move by Netflix was ingenious.


Kiesel, who is bullish on Comcast, says a Comcast-Time Warner union will have $15 billion in annual free cash flow, putting this combined entity in "a unique position to negotiate contracts for its clients."


Even as cable bills are increasing for consumers, especially for premier content providers like Disney (DIS), Comcast can still use its bargaining power to push down prices, Kiesel says.

cable / sat subscription is dropping every month. It's only TV..you don't need it. As utility bills start going up subscriptions will drop even more. Keeping the lights / gas on is a priority. Not TV.
