This guy's got it right, IMO: >>>>>''I read this speech to say he's handing the cable industry a lot of rope and is expecting them to open up their wires on their own,'' said Greg Simon, co-director of the group. ''He doesn't support 30,000 local statutes, but I believe the federal government is eventually going to have to guarantee open access so local communities don't have to."<<<<< You can make book on one thing: as long as only one cable company in any given market has a monopoly on the franchise, in the long run, ATHM will get exactly nowhere trying to be the only cable ISP in any given market. But, how long it will take for the Government to take away the monopoly, I can't say.
