That sum, which was disclosed in Comcast's fourth quarter earnings (Techmeme), is the company's monthly average revenue per subscriber–a metric that would indicate pricing pressure from the likes of Verizon and AT&T, which are offering their own TV and Internet services. As many of you know, I bailed on Comcast for Verizon's FiOS service a few months ago. The thought of a price war between cable incumbents and telecom companies just warms my heart, but the competition is mostly a mirage.
