'Some fear that Comcast will wield inordinate clout in deciding what kind of box customers will be able to buy.' It's only their goal because the government made them.

    According to my e-mail inbox, I can get all the descramblers I want for any cable system for only $50, anyways!

    And we all know that if an offer comes via e-mail, it must be legit...
