I'm already paying over $100 per month for h/s Internet access and cable TV, that's more than enough. If we let them, these bloodsuckers will drain us dry and further attempt to restrict what we can access to what they're selling. Not a pretty picture.
I'm just waiting for the day when all my phone (local/long), cable television and internet services are all consolidated over my high speed internet connection for around $30-40 a month. In a very primitive nonpractical form, phone and video services are already available via h/s internet.
You're right of course. Without competition it'll never happen.
