Re: The same court will probably just shoot it down again

What does any of this have to do with pay TV market share? Nothing. There is no reason that Comcast (or any pay TV provider) should be capped at 30% when viable pay TV competition exists nationwide.

True - they can open up the market beyond 30%, also, they'll have to remove their traffic shaping, as some may want to watch TV over the Internet. Competition of TV over broadband will become a reality.

Once gain, traffic shaping of your HSI connection has nothing to do with pay TV. Besides, you're still allowed to watch content over your HSI connection if you so desire.

Since I don't have HSI, you're right.

So what's your concern again?

I have no real concerns, however, I do suspect that there will be concessions required for more than 30% market share by a cable CO.

Even if there are concessions, they'll ultimately be meaningless and Comcast will get what they're striving for. In the end, we waste time and tax dollars with added bureaucracy.

Apparently not, because I still fail to see the link to pay TV market share.
