Whether you call it.....


giving in or just reaching the point where dealing makes sense it was always going to get here. Cobb had said it many times and he was not just saying it to here himself talk but, out of an informed industry perspective. Aside from the noted rivalry/friction between Comcast and Disney given their relative industry positions, Comcast did not want to be the one to set the market floor for Disney and make their negotiations any easier with other carriers. The fact that Comcast's omnibus agreement was not yet subject to expiration gave them that window. They have seen enough now to get a reasonable idea on what kind of deal they can negotiate and, just as important, not build anymore animosity in to what will be a spirited negotiation when their omnibus agreement comes up for renewal.
