"So what see is those who want more rules to solve problems are just shaming." What I see as a sham is the federal government pretending to enable competition along with deregulation without putting some teeth in the law by voiding all the local exclusive franchises. What the federal government should have done is forced the cable companies to choose between forgoing their exclusive franchises or continued regulation. These choices could have been made on an individual basis by each company.
