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. I hate to say it, but the lines will in fact be opened up. Its just a question of when. Realize that the govt must allow these monopolies or else things would never get off the ground. What is done is the govt grants the monopoly in exchange for these companies infrastructure $$$ and gives them a head start. Once they get up and started and make back their sunk costs, the govt allows open access and lets other competitors try to win over the consumer from the entrenched monopolist.
