Re: Comcast hates competition!

That's priceless.

U-Verse currently is a form of video on demand and will never even approach a 30% market share as such. Nice straw man.

The rule states 30% of the video market. That you want to ignore the definitions and wrap your argument around false assumptions (let along ignoring reality) speaks to how vacuous your argument is.

Go read the rules.

How is U-Verse a form of VoD? I didn't know you got to select what shows you wanted to watch all the time. I thought it was just like cable just according to AT$T used a different platform for delivery.

It's video over IP which is not sent until you 'order' it via the remote, which is the same as VoD. The only difference is that it picks up live program feeds instead of recorded feeds. It has more in common with SDV than traditional digital cable.

Wow.

And that makes a difference? Its still TV service. VoD is content stored on servers, not a live feed. Hence = TV. But even if it was, So?

In the context of the FCC rules, there is a difference. By your definition, YouTube is cable if you watch it on your TV. So would be anything via Apple TV.

Why does the FCC have all those stupid technicalities? What is it, for the bells to be able to get around obstacles cable can't(thanks to FCC chairman Martin ). I'm no cable fan boy(I think FIOS is a great service overall), but Martin has an extreme bias and it isn't right.

What technicalities are you complaining of? These rules were written before Martin was on the FCC and came via directives from Congress. The Communications Act is not an FCC document...they are tasked with implementing it.

Cable is the one who fought to have their non-video services classified as "information services" not subject to common carrier regulation. The rest of this stems from that.

Don't believe everything you read on company websites.
