Comcast is already playing games with NBC-competing networks in direct violation of the terms they agreed to, when the merger was rubber-stamped. (e.g. The Bloomberg TV/CNBC channel kerfuffle)
Also, most Americans have more freedom to choose a competing cell service provider than a competing cable provider. If a choice between two-to-three viable options is sufficient for them to not care about cable, why would they care about cell service being reduced to two-to-three viable options?
