The quality has dropped, too, thanks to the new, improved digital signal.

ergo, poorly contrived competition is bad?

Barry...In the interest of making your point, you might consider that not all of us know what you mean by "DFI" and "PEG funding mechanisms."

Hmmm - could it be that polititians who took money from the cable industry and assured us that all will be well were mistaken? It would be interesting to see a list of those honestly mistaken folks and their party affiliation.

While I don't wish anyone ill, this episode does make me feel that the demise of the newspaper industry is well earned. How could they have reported the 2007 Act as a "cable competition" bill when in fact there was NOTHING to prevent companies from competing prior to its passage? Either reporters also received payments from the cable industry, or they're stupid, or they're lazy. I give them the benefit of the doubt and assume the latter.

I thought with the entry of AT&T's U-Verse that rates would become more competitive. However, U-Verse in some regards is more EXPENSIVE than Time Warner Cable. How in the world can they promote competition and that new competitor overshoots the Cable rates?

This is a game that will continue to go on. And have you ever noticed that whenever Time Warner offers great deals for their service it is NOT open to existing customers?!

And furthermore, whoever thinks Government regulation will cure this ill is totally fooling themselves. :(
