I don't follow what one has to do with the other. Deciding cable or satellite is an independent decision to me, buying Disney has nothing to do with it.
We've had 3 cable companies in the past 5 years. First TCI, then AT&T and now Comcast. Rates have skyrocketed since Comcast took over. No major service problems. I don't want to fool around with a satellite, so I guess I'll be staying with cable (Comcast, no other choice).
I guess because I work for a major company that has gone through many mergers, acquisitions and spinoffs in the past 10 years, this doesn't seem like a big deal to me. My guess is the upper management of the theme parks division will stay in place since Comcast does not have anything similiar in their organization (if it even happens). They wouldn't buy Disney to destroy it. The Disney name will stay intact because that is it's major asset (it will not become Comcast World, no way). The Disney Company that is in place today is not the company that Walt created. It's a company that Michael Eisner has created with mergers and acquisitions (the biggest ABC). Talk about skyrocketing cable rates, Disney room rates and ticket prices have also skyrocketed in the past few years also but people seem to be able to take that without complaint because it's "Disney".
