The very fact that VERIZON was able to start Fios 1 proves cablevisions argument.
Since Verizon has the rescources to start up a competitor channel since they couldnt get news12 proves that they dont need to get a competitors run channel.
If Cablevision is willing to let VZ set up broadcasting facilities and show Ranger, Devil, Islanders, Knicks and Sabre games in HD, I'll give you that argument.
