Obama to sign executive order to ignite corporate competition

It's possible here too, but you end up paying the same price when you get telephone, cable TV and internet by the same Internet provider as with only internet, so most people get "triple play" as they call it.

Ah. We cut our bill in 1/3 when we ditched the cable(telephone already separate).

I only got internet. Dropped cable and landlines years ago. Cable business model is so primitive.

Anyway, about Zerobama, i think he still doesn't understand free market capitalism. You want more competition? Get your hands out of the dam economy. All his regulations are distorting the market and choosing winners regardless of economic performance.

I liked John McCain's idea of making channel subscriptions a la carte. Only pay for the ones you want.

People would not be happy with the prices they would end up being offered.  1 channel out of the 300 you get would not cost 1/300 of your current cable bill.

We sort of have this.  It's about 1$/channel, on top of the basics that costs 30-40$ depending on the provider.

and you think that without regulations, any kind of regulations in the cable market, existing players would not achieve a form of oligopoly, but rather, we'd see dozens of independant providers popping up out of nowhere?

What times and places do you think free market capitalism occurred?
