The problem is that in this market, as well as many others like TV and internet connections, we have fallen behind the rest of the industrialized nations because everything is left in the hands of greedy, short sighted companies.... quite often managed by incompetent.
I am old enough to remember when Hollywood was crying that the VCR would kill the movie industry; now it is its first source of revenues for those idiots.

My brother in Europe pay 1/3 of what I pay here for DSL and the speed is 35 MB, he has no cap and for something like $10/15 more per month he also has IPTV in all its beauty.
Here I am locked with a crappy cable company, just one of course because they are not to compete among them.
Have you ever wondered why all those representatives we send to Washington never investigated if a situation like this coul be considered an oligopoly? Becaue of the money these companies pour to the campaigns and lobbysts etc.
