Re: Cable's own fault....

Cable is a monopoly. you have to watch their channels or use broadcast or satellite. Anything else you cant get shit. Satellite is cheap per month but the equipment and install costs are HIGH. And not everyone has line of sight to the southern sky and not everyone can have it where they live.

Regardless of what cable is or isn't, it's largely run by monopolists, i.e., people who believe in and work to either achieve or maintain a monopoly.

My statement stands.

Cable isn't a monopoly. You can get your TV from analog broadcasts and satellite.

Once again, ATT cable started this with the lawsuit against the City of Portland, which forced the 9th Circuit's hand in this case.

Nothing as much fun as watching monopolists hung on their own petard!
