They are in absolutely no way protected from competition. Their competition includes going outside, reading a book, etc. Not to mention the plenty of other content producers out there.
Protected from competition? Are you kidding me?
- untog 11y agoThey are protected from competition by being given a monopoly in providing cable to various areas in the country. This has nothing to do with your personal entertainment, and everything to do with monopoly over regional infrastructure.
- dimino 11y agoOkay I think we're talking past eachother a bit. You're worried they'll lock DreamWorks/Universal films/NBC TV shows to Comcast customers only, because of their position as an ISP. We can agree, that's bad, if they do that, and if they do end up trying that, then I understand action (with some caveats, I am in favor of net neutrality, but I think there's a balance between what the government helped them build and what they built themselves). But they haven't done that yet. As long as they don't do it, I think regulation is premature.
