Letters: A victim of FiOS-Comcast overload
IS IT MY imagination or is every other commercial on TV (or radio or in newsprint) sponsored by one of the dueling monopolies, FiOS or Comcast?
It's hard to believe that they can afford that much advertising. Of course, if you have a near monopoly, you can bleed all the suckers
you've already hooked.
The Federal Communications Commission goes ballistic over a small breast being exposed for four seconds from 75 yards away. But the agency does nothing about escalating cable/Internet/phone costs.
I'd love to see the paper trail showing the role of lobbyist money in the switch to digital TV. That was a giant stimulus package for Verizon and Comcast. And I'm totally sick of the FiOS cable guy, Ben Stein and Shaq.
