“I hate the dang cable companies! If it weren’t for the problems with satellite (losing the picture when it rains heavily, etc.), we would switch.”
Cable companies are exploiting how America works. Grease the right politicians, and anti competitive behavior is ignored. I know of a few localities that have started their own cable company. It’s expensive for a city to do that, and we all know, government is not efficient.
There will only be competition in the cable market when voters demand it, not a day before then.
Our Charter Communications Cable is having the same fight with the NFL network....so we don’t get the NFL network anymore....we would gladly pay 60 to 70 cents per month to get the NFL network.....we have to see the Green Bay Packers play Dallas.....Go Packers. So it will be a sports bar for us too.
