| said by ITALIAN926 :As usual, the cable co's dont want their services regulated, but insist that the telco's hurdle every single TV regulatory obstacle in their way. Its a hillarious battle. yea.. it IS hillarious.. just like Telephone that wants to avoid every hurdle along the way and not be regulated as well.
Cable is used to and accepting of franchise authorites. They don't believe that VOIP and Cable Modems should be regualted... neither do I.
Telephone is used to having POTS regulated, but insists that their TV shouldn't. (AT&T anyone?) So, it appears that it's equal on both sides then...
You shuldn't leave telephone out. They, at least at&t, is playing EXTREAMLY dirty pool... last time I looked, I didn't see cable threatening entire states with lack of performance unless they got their way.. at&t anyone? at&t vs IL? -- "Wipe out the national deficit over night...
