Cox adds caller ID to TV

Cox Communications’ customers can now identify callers without taking their eyes off the TV, an enhancement not yet available on LUS Fiber, though plans call for it to be added later this year.

Cox’s new service was launched today in the six parish Acadiana region and the seven parish Baton Rouge market. TV caller ID is offered at no additional cost to Cox customers who subscribe to Cox digital TV with caller ID and Cox digital cable. Cox’s New Orleans market launched this service in late 2009.

TV caller ID is the latest enhancement to the company’s interactive television platform that provides instant access to information via the TV screen. iTV enables the integration of phone and Internet with the TV to provide valuable information for viewers. In addition to managing the TV Caller ID function, iTV currently allows Cox Digital Cable customers in Louisiana to access local and national weather forecasts. Future enhancements are planned, Cox says.

What I find really funny is that so many conservatives around here embrace the LUS fiber solution.

Because in theory LUS is "community owned" which is a nice way of saying "socialism" you know that word that makes republicans tremble, because it's a big word and they have problems with those, but Rush limbaugh has used it in a derogatory manner so it must be bad.

Yet these conservatives witness FIRST HAND what happens when you take greedy stockholders out of the equation. Gee could it be? Lower prices, better service, innovation? How can this be true? Could it be that a co-op is better than a monopoly? You won't find anyone in this town who believes it.
