kudos:1 | Comcast should just buy them out Now is the time to put TW out, Comcast offer them something, like a suitcase, not full of money, just a suitcase.
TW customers should just cancel and move to Dish or Fios. |

| They can't. The FCC prohibits Comcast from owning more than 30% of US cable systems.

Then maybe this should be used to revisit that ruling. Now while I'm not in favor of Comcast having a monopoly, I'm certainly more disturbed at the blatant extortion tactics of Time Warner.
Now would be a real good time to get some of our representatives educated on the business of technical matters.

kudos:1 | I think its time for that ruling to be lifted, and allow the cable the same latitude as Verizon and ATT. Since both provide basicaly the same product. |

Comcast can not buy them out. FCC ownership caps restrict that sort of transaction.  |

The courts rulled several years ago that the FCC does not have the right to limit them and it is going through the Courts again. Only for Comcast to win. Why? Because D* doesn't have this limit and ATT and VZ do not have the limit either. Fair is only fair. The courts will rule with Comcast again. |

FiOS = not available consistently throughout an area. Case in point: my sub community is called Rancho Bernardo. Spotted points (the rich areas) of RB are lit up, the others are not. My only choices for internet are (A) U-Verse/DSL and (B) TWC. AT&T as a provider is absolutely horrid so I won't go to them on principle. Beyond that TWC has been good to me overall. |
