| Re: FCC Yeah, big effing difference.
It's like the difference between your mother saying "you can't go out," and having her say "you can go out, but only after you mow the yard at the community center for free, donate 40 charity hours to the library, agree to join the junior choir at church AND you have to take your little sister and her friend along and help them buy clothes."
Some conditions just aren't worth it--especially when they involve the questionable expansion of the underlying agency's jurisdiction.

| Re: FCC You'll find that he loves to argue semantics.
In any event, the FCC is blackmailing CC and TW. It's no doubt politically motivated.
As a business owner, I can understand that true "al a carte" pricing probably won't work. I think that the cable co's should become a "carrier", much like the utility co's and force the ESPN lovers to pay a subscription directly to ESPN(for example). | |

| Re: FCC I like accuracy when it makes a difference. When it doesn't, it's as annoying as having someone correct my statement that they showed up at a quarter after two by telling me that they arrived at 2:15 and 27 seconds.
