Equal access to cable lines is what I am worried about
T2, here is my post from theAOL thread on that subject.
I pay Cox cable and @home for my cable connection to Internet. If I want to use AOL on the cable connection, I have to pay an additional charge to them. On the other hand,I pay Bell telephone for my phone connection, then I pay whatever long distance company I want to use. I am not allowed to pay Cox cable, and then choose which portal company I want to pay. This is what AOL is screaming about.
I don't like to use the Government to change the way a company does business, but the cable companies all have monopolies from the Government, so there is no other choice but to force them to do what the government forced Bell Telephone to do, ie: open up to competition
It does not look like this is going to happen. Too bad.
