This is not a new devil, this is the same one that destroyed the home satellite market back in 1985, when there was 70,000 satellite dishes going into homes nationwide. when cable declared war on the home satellite market, (who by the way was willing to pay for what they got) made them look like they were a bunch of thieves, and covered up the fact that that the true battle was over access to programming at a reasonable price. they'll do the same thing to the internet while stupid cable subscribers will finance the whole thing just as they did back in '85. just remember who you heard it from. i told the satellite industry in 1985 that the cable and phone companies would work together, and they all laughed. now the laugh is on you Internet Service Providers. just remember: its the cable subscriber who will finance your demise.
