You guys must love paying through the nose for cable broadband. You all should be happy. If you're consumers, now cable providers will have to charge you less if they want to keep you as a customer. Didn't you all read the headline that was posted here a while back that said that since Muni's were offering Cable TV in certain citys the cable monopolies were forced to lower their prices dramatically?
If you still think that the cable monopolies shouldn't have to share their lines... I'd like to offer you a subscription into my dial-a-fool line. Basically what it is me calling you at all hours of the night, telling you the headlines from a newspaper from 2 years ago, and you get to pay me $59.99 a month for it. I'm gonna go watch tv now.
Hey! I saw this one already!!! it was on like two years ago or something!
Anyone can start a Cable Company to compete look at RCN. It just costs too much. There are no monopoly agreements, No Town/City has the right to give exclusive access.
Lets say it costs a hundred million dollars to start a cable service then at best the company break even in 10 years(Might be even more with competition prices). There is no profit in.
