Re: Hmmm...

The only person who is blowing smoke is the person who posted this topic in an effort to ruin these organizations. I hope they sue Broadband Reports as they should for false accusations.

And the newspapers for publishing the information too?

said by North Jersey Media Group Inc. :

Edward J. McKenna Jr., mayor of Red Bank for the past 16 years, thought he had seen just about everything.

But that was before the unsigned letters started pouring into his office last fall.

"All unsigned, all from the same fax machine, all supporting more competition in cable television," McKenna said. "It was very suspicious, so I decided to check them out.''

McKenna found out that more than 100 of some 200 letters he received were sent from non-existent Red Bank addresses. When he called about a dozen people whose names were on the letters, about half told him they had never heard of the campaign for cable choice and had never sent him a letter.

Who said the accusations are false? They certainly seem true from the article.

You sir are part of this problem, apparently on the side of monopolies against choice. Feel good to bend over for cable? I think not.

Here in Pittsburgh its been the same stuff. No other choice besides cable or satellite. Well I left my fuzzy 'digital' cable quite a few years ago for DTV, and I am glad to not have to pay the yearly rate hike. (havent had a hike in a few years actually.)

I`m definetly not condoning the 200 some spams that were sent out, but with the stranglehold cable has over ads, something had to be done to make people aware.

Viva Competition!!!
