Finally, someone had the cajones to step up and tell comcast to walk. After a balanced attempt at a strong arm fails, Comcast is left with a few less dollars and some extremely negative press...

Ever wonder why the feds allowed them and Verizon to get such a stranglehold on not just internet and cable, but also the sports teams? Money does talk and I am sure quite a few politicians have lobbyists stuffing their wallets. So much for antitrust laws. Its about time someone stood up to them. Maybe the hotels and subscribers here will start to grab the buck by the antlers instead of passing it on to patrons. The change from analog to digital was viewed in the boardrooms as a great opportunity to rake in even more. Verizon is no better with their super high priced FIOS. Ever notice how your bill from comcast just magically scales higher after 6 months of set amounts? Ever gotten a bill for over 300 dollars for one month of service and asked why? This article should make it a little clearer. "Can you hear me now?"

It'll all be moot when Dish gets Comcast Sportsnet in the summer.....

Really? When was this announced? Being a DirecTV customer, I currently get more Cubs games than Phillies games. Since I'm a Cubs fan it's not really a big deal, but it is annoying when the Cubs play the Phils and the game is blacked out on WGN/ESPN because the game is on Comcast.

I wish they would break up Comcast like they did Bell Telephone.
