Barry the Cable Guy

Barack Obama exhibits a pattern of behavior Americans should recognize by now. Whenever this president starts talking about “loosening the grip” of corporations, increasing competition, and opening markets to ensure lower prices it’s a sure sign that the noose of government is about to become tighter around America’s neck. For nearly eight years, under the guise of shielding the American people from harm, Obama has methodically shifted power away from the private sector toward the most powerful and corrupt conglomerate on the face of the planet –- the U.S. federal government. Let’s not beat around the bush; the prospect of thwarting corporate America gets the president all excited. Obama began his reign of terror by “loosening the grip” of health insurance companies. The problem is that in order for his administration to rush in and patch things up, he first needed to break what wasn’t broken.

Considering how much Comcast donates to Democrats and pushes their causes, this move is surprising.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Barry forces DirecTV and Dish as a “near monopoly” to allow 3rd party companies to resell their signal and provide boxes.

Barry hates the American Capitalist system and has shown his disdain for our system every chance he gets. Start with this

Obama rips U.S. Constitution , "Seven years before Barack Obama’s “spread the wealth” comment to Joe the Plumber became a GOP campaign theme, the Democratic presidential candidate said in a radio interview the U.S. has suffered from a fundamentally flawed Constitution that does not mandate or allow for redistribution of wealth."

This will be as disruptive to television media in general as Uber was to Taxi Companies. There will be all manner of devices and apps that will allow users to find free content sources with no commercials. These content sources and technology exist today, but open set top boxes will bring it to the trailer park.

How will a station make Walking Dead if there is no revenue source?

Look for cable rates to go up to cover for the lost revenue from renting cable boxes and the added costs of supporting cable boxes from multiple makers.
