| Darth Vader rules Well, in the Northeast we've got Darth Vader telling us all about the one-bill "convenience" of buying everything from Verizon. They of course don't disclose the fact that you *have* to buy everything from Verizon; instead they spend tens of millions of dollars a year on marketing to convince customers that this is a "good thing".
AT&T Broadband does the exact same thing. Want Internet service? Gotta buy AT&T cable TV service. Think Comcast will change that policy? Not on Michael Powell's life. |

| I am not defending them or anything, but you do not need AT&T cable television to get cable internet access. It is true, however, that they jack the price up.

Comcast is the same way. It's $39.95 if you have their cable TV, and something like $54.95 if you don't. The price difference is a little ridiculous IMHO, but since I already had cable TV, it didn't really bother me. |
