The cost of doing business is trending upwards, for the North American operators captured in this report. Crucially, this includes both capex and opex, despite what some industry positions state.

Thanks to mergers and product portfolio expansions, all bar DirecTV have feet in multiple camps. Triple-play is essentially a de facto position, with quad-play a reality for many. As such, drawing lines between different operators based on technologies deployed or heritage becomes a dicey affair.

What can be seen is the impact of changing capex and opex burdens on the operating and net income of this group. Pay TV subscriber counts continue to plummet, but the growth seen in mobile is not solely due to new consumer users.
