Close Terrestial Loophole & Let Them Grow

FCC should allow them to get bigger, but the terrestial loophole should be closed, so they can't screw rivals out of programming customers want. See if Comcast wants CSN HD in Philly all over the place, as well as CSN-NW HD. Bet they balk.

Bravo! Bravo! and I don't mean the cable network. Not only should the terrestial loophole be closed but Comcast should be required to share any cable network it owns or partially owns on a non-discriminatory basis even with its competitors before it's allowed to exceed the 30% threshold. That's only fair.

You read my mind. The FCC had a big hand in letting Comcast monopolize an area with the CSN Philly here, as none of the sat providers are allowed to carry it in SD or HD. And they have asked. The terrestrial loophole is stupid at its core, hurts competition, and consumers. The FCC doesn't see it as their issue though. They told me to go to Congress.
