I look at that cable bill every month, and here's a hint, I'm not exactly thinking "oh thank god for competition". Frankly the cableco's are like the band on the Titanic, playing for every last minute. The difference between them and that band is that they are actually bending us over the table while they play their instruments...
how, exactly, are the cable companies a sinking ship? last i heard several of the major players were posting record breaking profit margins for the last few quarters. sounds like things are "floating" right along to me.
