>I would want to see the margins for just operating high speed internet service

You can't really break it out that way. The TV service and internet service use the same physical wire. That's a fixed cost per household and once you have it, it's only marginally more expensive to send TV with the internet. Double so since people without cable packages tend to replace them with streaming services.

That values the content at near zero, which I think is not correct, and part of the game telecoms are playing with their (local) monopoly pricing power.
