Re: A few observations I don't want to see constant price increases in my food bill, gas at the pump, car insurance, medical co-pays, energy, clothing costs, and on and on and on..
So why is cable exempt? .. or why should it be? You have a right to not have pay TV service too, right? |

| Any time a company with monopoly power over consumers abuses that power, we can hope government will remediate on our behalf.

kudos:3 | The last time government stepped in to help, back in 1996, over high prices, your bill went up in FAR more cases than not.
Cable is not a monopoly, I don't buy that. You have 2 satellite options available to you available nationwide. The government has established rules to protect EVERY HOA and Renter's right to have a dish on their home.
And even then, I have a REAL issue where government has any right to label a "monopoly" over any industry that is not a life line or requirement. |
