from the article... <<FCC chairman William Kennard reiterated in a speech yesterday that the agency is loath to impose any new regulations on cable Net access. Meanwhile, most observers doubt that a pro-deregulation Congress would write its own new rules for cable companies.>> You said.... <<Things are a little bit more complicated>> What could be more simple than 2 congressmen from a certain state, introducing a bill that would seem to benefit a large company from that same state? Congress isn't taking aim at net access, 2 Virginia Congressmen who live in AOL's back yard are. I've had enough of talking about this issue for today. I just want AOL TO STOP RELYING ON THE GOVERNMENT FOR THEIR CABLE BROADBAND STRATEGY. The FCC is not going to be AOL's knight in shining armor, no matter how much 2 congressmen from Virginia want it. How simple is that? Regards Jay
