Comcast Looks To Get 'Rapid' Subs From Digital TV Transition
Operator Touts Installation for Consumers as 'Fast Last-Minute Solution'

Comcast is aiming to pick up new subscribers from the June 12 broadcast transition to all-digital TV, launching a nationwide "rapid-response" installation initiative promising to connect cable TV service for consumers within 48 hours.
The cable company is offering basic cable for $10 per month for one year, or free basic cable for 12 months for new customers who sign up for at least one additional Comcast service.

$10/month for a year subscription is pretty cheap but wouldn't it be bad if they remove almost all programming from basic cable after signing up a lot of new customers. hehe
