Well, I disagree that the amount of money that broadcasters charge viewers
is predatory, and I disagree that broadcasters (or their content providers)
control viewers.

Asunto: [opendtv] News: Cellphone Straitjacket Is Inspiring a Rebellion
A minor point of irony here.
The storm clouds are gathering around the cellphone industry, which
has been acting as an oligopoly to keep prices high and to keep
control over its subscribers. Articles like the one that follows are
now commonplace as the barriers to competition in wireless
communications begin to fall.
I suspect that there are few on this list who would disagree with the
above, or complain that competition is going to lead to lower prices
and better products/services.
Yet when the subject of multi-channel TV distribution comes up in
this forum, there are persistent arguments here that similar levels
of predatory pricing and control of consumers even exist.
Perhaps this is beginning to change too?
