Summer Budget Travel Tips from Gadling

2007 could be a quadruple play kind of year

If you already subscribe to cable TV, internet access, and landline phone service from the same provider, would it be much of a stretch for you to add wireless service to your bill?

According to some analysts, there is potential for many consumers to opt for the "quadruple play" for companies such as Comcast, Time Warner, Cox Communications, and Verizon. The advantage is that you're getting all of these services on one bill, and you probably will be able to get a basic service package for about $100 a month. Of course, one disadvantage is that you could end up beholden to one provider for all of your services, and your options will be limited.

It's an interesting question for consumers. The next six months will tell us a lot if the quadruple play concept will make a dent in the marketplace.
