<<<My opinion is that the MSO's would create the most "right" situation by agreeing to give up their exclusivity in providing television service. No government sponsored monopoly of any sort. The MSO freely shares its right of ways too. Of course noone will take them up on the offer.>> Eric, you make an excellent point. It may take a few years, but I think we may be headed in that direction. Look at what is happening with the electric utilities: Deregulation. I am told by my power company, that I will have a choice of who I can buy my electricity from. Maine Public Service will still maintain the lines, but I am not compelled to buy the juice from them. I believe it will be a matter of time before the MSOs will lose their monopoly. An interesting side note, I just heard on CNN that T is making the statement that if Portland forces open access on T, they will simply pull the plug on Cable internet in that county and not offer ANY high speed service! Am I hearing these guys right?? If I am, that is quite a threat! Mike
