Comcast's Project Infinity makes landfall in South Florida

Comcast already raised up its hands and shouted "Hallelujah!" upon successfully implementing Project Infinity in some sections of the country, but those debatable 1,000 HD choices are just now filtering down the east coast to South Florida. As of now, folks that way have over 1,000 HD on-demand choices, and Comcast is mighty proud of that fact. Of course, the actual number of HD channels (you know, those that matter) hasn't changed a bit, but you'd never know it by the elation seen in the PR.

Forget Comcast with their overcompressed HD content. Verizon is rolling out FIOS with real High Def channels. Everyone on my street but one person has changed over to FIOS.

The only reason Comcast is adding any content is because of new competition. They've even gone to town meetings to try to prevent Verizon and AT&T from bringing fiber into towns because they're afraid of competition that may actually offer some real value.

It's just a matter of time before everyone realizes they've were getting screwed by cable for the past 30 years.
