    Anyone who is surprised by this should have checked their premise that EFF is a defender of freedom. A simple glance at their position on net neutrality would have cleared that up.

      Alright, you're getting to the actual issue - cable companies provide crappy service. So why don't people switch to alternative cable companies? Because there aren't any. Why is that? Because local governments grant monopolies to these cable companies, and prohibit competitors from laying their own lines.

      Attempting to band-aid one regulation with another does not lead to freedom.
