Let 'em

If the FCC and FTC don't see any problem with a duopoly in telecom, why not in cable?

because the cable companies are out to hurt the consumer while the phone companies are out to help the consumer!

Look at Verizon they are bringing us all FTTH! they are not doing it for themselves they are doing it for the consumer!

FCC over-stepped its bounds.

"In 1992, the FCC tweaked its cable-ownership regulations in response to a law passed by Congress. Concerned that cable networks would have too few distribution outlets if there was insufficient competition among cable providers, the FCC ruled that a cable company could serve no more than 30 percent of homes passed by cable companies in the US. Later that decade, the FCC changed its measurement metric, deciding to drop the homes-passed measurement and decreeing that no single cable operator could serve over 30 percent of all cable subscribers in the US."

Congress pass a law for the first standard....but the FCC then over stepped its bounds by creating another law (without Congress approval).

Who do you think you are FCC?
