Are "outdated telecom laws" really preventing the cable companies

[JohnnyRingo]

from giving me what I deserve?

Should I write my congressman demanding that he unshackle the cable companies bonds and allow them to act in my best interests?

I can't wait until spring so I can get away from this TV.
It's been a looong winter.

1. Cable companies are ready

To give it to you good and hard!

2. My phone bill went up after they broke Ma Bell.

Though there are now about fifty different ways to pretend I'm saving money.

3. There's competition where my parents live

and their cable is super cheap, and has every channel imaginable. Where I live, there's no competition and my cable is very expensive and crappy. It's really simple.. When corporations are allowed to screw you, they will.

4. They are morally obligated to

Screw the consumer, it is the entire point of capitalism. The original business model.
