Quote:Comcast is a monopoly because the government protects it from competition.
Really its both. Government does it due to massive lobbying and dollars the market pours into politicians pockets. Its very clear that both are a problem.
Quote:Local governments dole out monopoly rights to cable systems. If you wanted to start a competing cable company in a city, chances are there's a law against it.
There are also laws on the books at the state level preventing municipalities from having their own internet systems. Current NN rules would dissalow those laws.
