- One of the provisions of the new Cable Bill just passed into law is
- that services will have to be offered channel by channel in the future.
- Unfortunately, the cable companies have 10 years to do this and even
- then, it will probably not be enforced.
-
- Best bet is to have Baby and Ma Bell fiber optic to your door to force
- true competition and offer services and selections WE want, not what
- brings them the highest profit margin in the monopolized business of
- today.
