"So it's not in TW's best interests to encourage people to see the Internet as a great alternative to cable TV."
However, if they can see the writing on the wall (which is something most Slashdotters don't give businesses enough credit for) then perhaps they realize cable is a dead end and want to get in on the transition.
And could you clarify your "counter argument"? I see you saying most people only have one cable provider, but I fail to see how that's a counterargument here. That other ISP's exist doesn't really have anything to do with cable internet service.
I guess I just don't see why a gaggle of ISP's providing services over Time Warner's lines, which would still be paid for by the subscriber and be a revenue stream for TWC, is a counterargument.
