| Re: I can bet a few... $4.00 a gallon is nothing. the global elite (who control the price of oil.. not opec.. that's a front) want $200 a barrel.

I see Sunflower Broadband and Bend Broadband have amazing channel lineups! Wow I'm pretty astonished what they have compared to giant operator Comcast.
Smaller companies FTW! | |

| Don't knock the Cable Center since they are only one of 2 sites dedicated to the history of Cable TV. Their oral histories are great.
Here's another one for you thats not affiliated with one single cable tv company or with the Cable Center. Its got some cool stuff. Its run by 2 old ex cable dudes and privately funded by them.
»theoldcatvequipmentmuseum.org/
As to a good telephone museum try.
»www.telcomhistory.org
It also has some cool stuff and some good links to other telephone stuff.
Can you tell I love a good museum? | |

| Displays There's a lovely chart on display that shows the meteoric rise is prices. Astonishing the double digit price increases along with the reduction of services. The chart on their future plans for throttling, how once they eliminate net neutrality and how amazingly fast their partners speeds will be in comparison to the small companies and regular folk who can't afford to or won't pay for the express lane are amazing. It's a cool business plan. Similar to Rockerfellar and Standard oil back in the day. Make it so slow that they have to come to our site. Pretty amazing. | |

| where is all this Where is my plug in a USB game controller and play video games through my cable box?
Where is plug my digital camera into my cable box and have the pics uploaded to my folder on the cable box and sent to the photolab at the pharmacy near me to be printed?
Why can't I plug my computer into the cable box's USB port and get cable internet (cable box pretends to be a USB ethernet adaptor)? | |

@sbcglobal.net | I wonder if the Center has a poor customer service display? No history of the cable industry would be complete without a customer service display. Perhaps a diorama of an empty office with thousands of answering machines putting callers on hold? | |

@swbell.net | fun I hope they have a Comcast sleep number bed and a glass display case with an inflated monthly bill prominently displayed. | |
