Re: Comcast should just buy them out

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

Give someone a $#!7 load of venture capital and tell them to buy TW and COX

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.

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.

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.
