the F.C.C. is the authority that hold the licence of each station in its power,they can suspend or at make it very hard on comcast
Comcast isn't a broadcaster like ABC, NBC, KYW, WPVI, etc. They don't have a LICENSE from the FCC that can be suspended. What power the FCC has comes from the Congress when they deregulated cable TV. The power is relatively limited. And when a cable company hasn't liked what the FCC is doing they went to Federal court and won.

So, the FCC is pretty much a toothless tiger unless & until Congress passes new laws that changes that.
WRONG!!!

Don't show your ignorance by stating things you know nothing about! Congress specifically GAVE the FCC the power to regulate cable. There's an entire division of the FCC just FOR cable! have you ever heard of the cable bureau? Obviously not...

So they have a bureau that deals with cable companies. So what!! Their power is very limited and when they have exercised it, they got slapped down in court.

Nobody has heard of the FCC "cable bureau" because there isn't one.

There is the Video Division of the Media Bureau which handles Cable TV. But that certainly is not their only responsibility.

The Mass Media Bureau and Cable Bureau have merged to become simply the "Media Bureau."

He was being ironic. I'm pretty sure he (and anyone else who actually deals with the FCC) knew that already. The 'merger' happened awhile ago when cable was deregulated.

Thank you.

History has a way of repeating itself all over again as with the railroad monopolies of the 19th century and MA Bell of the 20th. They too were broken up. Comcasts' days of continuing to get away with murder is nearing an end.

This is already spreading to several states and many angry former subscribers are about to get even.

WATCH DAVID COHEN, BRIAN ROBERTS AND THE REST OF THE COMCAST BIG WIGS BE TAUGHT A LESSON AND BE BROUGHT BACK DOWN TO EARTH.

Thanks. I must have missed his smiley -- a person as dense as I am sometimes needs a clue.

My last dealing with the FCC was the renewal of the ham license I hardly use anymore...
