1 edit | If I was in the cable business 13 I would do the same thing. Instead of letting some no-load activist group give me the screw over I would try to lobby congress. The problem is not the money but the attempt regulate a private business. The solution is simple. Business is nobody (beep). You have a right to cable and you do not have a right to force cable to provide certain service. I believe in complete deregulation. If government had no say there would be no need for lobbing. Cable should be nothing more than a voluntary contract between consumer and business. Nobody can apply force. The cable company can force me to buy and I can not force the cable company to provide a service it dose not want to sell.
I lived many years with out a TV. and after paying $110 cable bill, lack of on demand widescreen movies, and cutting me off for some on demand channels because I do not have a digital package, I decide to deep six the cable box. I am sick and tired of broadcast tv. I am not going drop what I am doing to watch my favorite show. I am going to wait for the DVD.
My plan
1. Dump cable ( I will keep the cable broadband for now)
2. subscribe to net flicks
3. purchase streaming of survivor episode if I am in the mood.
4. Use savings for cable bill to buy 24, doctor Who DVD when available |
