[BC] Phone service, remote controls

[FrankGott at aol.com]

In a previous life when streets were safer I did door-to-door cable sales in a variety of neighborhoods.  Those with higher disposable incomes didn't necessarily get the "full boat" of high commission premium cable TV services.  They were tough sales because they had other options for their free time and didn't see the value of spending it on TV entertainment.  Mid to low income neighborhoods is where the money was made.
 
Of course, times have changed.  Especially with the advent of big screen HD home theaters.
 
Meanwhile, I can't wait for FiOS to light-up this summer so I can drop Crumcast.
