Re: They've worked hard for it
No apology necessary. I have watched what has happened here in NJ for years(My mother worked for the first CATV company in the area, for many years) and I am very familiar with what Comcast has pulled. I have spoken to the local officials and have heard the stories of the last local franchises negotiations. Comcast negotiates like Tony Soprano. I have seen the regular increase in bills. I have heard the service horror stories.
And that's just around here. You get out into Eastern PA, where Service Electric and RCN are, it gets worse, mostly with broadband overselling in the rural areas.
It's high time to clean up the cable industry. Sadly, with Kevin Martin at the helm of the FCC, that will happen right after pigs file flight plans. |
