More Details on Time Warner Cable’s Subsidized Slingbox Emerge

Slingbox PRO-HD More details have emerged regarding Time Warner Cable’s plans to subsidize customer Slingbox purchases. The information confirms and expands upon what was previously reported. The subsidy will take the form of a rebate on the Slingbox PRO-HD, up to the $299.99 MSRP, and will be available to customers who subscribe to the high-end $99.99 a month Wideband Internet Service. This DOCSIS 3.0 service provides up to 50Mbps downstream and 5Mbps upstream.

One new piece of information, the offer will initially roll out to customers in the New York City area only. TWC will decide if and when to expand the offer to other service areas based on the response they get from NYC customers.

    Initially this seemed kind of ballsy.  Now it just looks lame.  Guess I should have been more skeptical until I saw the details.

      The only difference from what we heard before is the limitation to just NYC. I still think it is a ballsy move, but the full impact will really depend on if & when they offer it beyond NYC.
