What REALLY sux is that many counties thruout the US grant exclusive rights (read monopoly) to a cable provider in their county. I am not neccessarily against this practice, if the provider would do something like,,,,YOUR FEE IS BASED ON YOUR USE!!!!!

With NO competition, then the only market drag is government regulation. Pick your poison.
