I digress.
calvoiper I think that you forget that there are some very powerful cable entities that can bring it just as easily as some of the telcos.
And many of the examples you cite happened under the most anti-competetive eras.
BTW, I agree with your assessment that the cable industry should tread lightly when saying "leave the market alone". I think you would have to agree that both telco and cable companies alike have been bruised by the FCC. However, I also notice that the article noted that the cable companies asked them to back off and step in only under the most extreme circumstances. I think your examples above fall under that very category.
Bottom line is, is that the playing field needs to be level for anyone to benefit. |
