Yet again we see why the infrastructure should be nationalized and leased to provide content providers. Enough with the whining profiteer extortionists.
Private company, private items. The Network is considered theirs. Not yours, not mine , not the gov't. But while you're at it. You better be taking FiOS's network and ATT's as well. Also Hughes Net. That is considered Broadband too. I'm sure the Gov't would have a lot of pissy people to do with and a helleva lot of lawsuits. And how do we pay for lawsuits against the Gov't- TAX DOLLARS! YAY! I can support some other stupid lawsuit. Hell if you're gonna do that you should just take The Big 3's plants away from them, and lease them out. Hell that's want McD's does and it seems to work for them.
That does not include businesses. Sorry. And no I don't pay for Time Warner cable. They pay to do business in my area but i don't pay them. You ONLY pay them if you're a customer. Sorry.
