The three largest OTT providers (Sling, YouTube TV and DirectTV Now) all raised their prices by $5 recently. This seems similar to how airlines all manage to raise their fares at the same time without explicit coordination (one airline does it, and the others quickly match). I don't think it has anything to do with the merger.

The way I look at this DTVN price hike, is that my HBO add-on went from $5 to $10/mo. Still a good from my perspective...

Jon Brodkin has an extremely strong anti-ISP agenda. He writes nothing but posts about the evil ISPs, at a rate of close to one a day.

He does not care that the facts suggest that there's an underlying cost increase that affect all streaming services equally. He has an agenda to push, and nobody is going to stop him from pushing it.
