"It's blatantly unfair," Munn said. "They're using their monopoly position to force people to subscribe to cable."

No, no one is FORCING you to do anything.

"If you're looking for a bundle, it's a great deal," he said. "But what about the person who only wants one service? For some people, this is the difference between being able to get broadband and not being able to get broadband."

Well, if they can't AFFORD it, they shouldn't get it. Pretty simple, really. What next? Ya want the rest of us should subsidize your Broadband connection as a matter of 'fairness'?

No....read on, you'll find that they want those that are benefitting, like me, from bundling the services to pay more so that we're all stiffed equally.

If the gov't needs to do anything, maybe it ought to ensure that there can be as many suppliers for cable as there are for DSL??
