Another monopoly in the making.

Add this to the Comcast merger of Time Warner Cable, and what will you get $200 cable bills real soon.

soon?

The combination of Comcast and NBCU is far more troubling than the ATT/DirecTV deal. Comcast’s control of channel availability, content and delivery system makes it the closest of all to a true monopoly.

No I won't.
Unless these monopolies somehow persuade the Feds or the States to make cable or satellite TV service mandatory.

For most people in most places, use of the increasingly efficient digital signal antennas is the permanent reasonable-priced solution.

I don't see an individual TV licence, to receive over-the-air signals, as the Brits have, ever getting traction in the U.S.

Comcast owns the other satellite TV service. So, there are now two huge companies that own phone services, internet services, cable services and satellite services. And I guarantee there is collusion between the two. I guess the anti trust laws of yesteryear no longer apply.
