what we are seeing is an attempt at a vertical monopoly. There is an inherent conflict of interest for a deliverer of content to have an interest in a particular provider of content. I have personal experience with Comcast abusing its position just as a deliverer: reducing service while increasing prices, diminishing analog service in order to force customers to buy equivalent digital services that cost more, providing compressed HDTV signals, putting limits on "unlimited" internet service. They are not to be "trusted".
