In The Future, ISPs Do Everything But Run Networks – Comcast jumps into travel agency relationship with Kayak.com
In: Communication|Computer|Hardware|Site Feeds|Software|VoIP
6 Mar 2009
The past several years have seen ISPs continually expand their operations away from their core competency: running networks. AT&T is developing a three dimensional browser, Time Warner Cable/Roadrunner dabbles in used car sales, while Cox has spent the last few years exploring the real estate market. One customer writes in to note that Comcast is e-mailing customers to announce a new online Travel Agency search engine — run in partnership with Kayak. Comcast of course would argue they’re now a broadband and online content company, having in the past few years launched a now-shuttered YouTube knockoff named Ziddio, and purchased Fandango, movies.com, and dailycandy.com.
Luckily, unlike other ISPs with the content bug, Comcast is at least aggressively upgrading their network first. Many other ISPs have been throwing millions at content projects at the side, while complaining that they lack the resources to keep up with a growing demand for bandwidth, consumed in part by the very content they’re increasingly trafficking in.
