Re: hate it for em

Serious question here. What areas actually have competition between two cable operator providers? Every time I read something about a cable company, they usually have a monopoly in the area that they serve.

Direct TV + Dish + Cable TV + Antenna TV (free) + Satellite

Toss in FIOS and Uverse for fun.

Add in internet based TV, since the incumbent telephone and cable companies like to reference the internet as competition.

For the heck of it, some areas actually have two wireline cable tv providers, but it certainly ain't the norm.

Did I miss anything?
