Apple still has to find a way to connect to the consumer in the home, it relies on the middleman (cableco or telco) to get to the consumer. And data caps and other restrictions have have hampered Apple to a degree, if it bought a cableco or telco it gets direct access to the consumer and bob's you uncle!
Of course they might not want to do that because they are making enough money just doing what they are doing without the headache of dealing with infrastructure problems.
