Re: Corporate lawmaking is Fascism at its finest

Which is borderline impossible given the layers of bundles discounts, grandfathering, time-limited promotions, etc.

So you play hardball. When doing comparisons of ISPs or pay TV service I throw out the limited time promotions. I average DirecTV month 1 with month 24 and get a good estimate of the real average monthly cost. I do the same with Cox's internet service offers. Read the fine print and run the numbers. Sure it takes some time and an understanding of how to get a reasonable average using the increasing monthly costs, but it is possible. You have to have the same determination and stamina as the people who piece together shredded documents during an investigation. Similar to the old time reporters who walked for miles, knocking on doors, day and night, 7 days a week, for weeks on end, until they got as much of the entire real story as possible.
