re: #21 Targetpractice

Yet isn’t that the exact opposite of what they said would happen with deregulation? That it would lead to increased competition, more choices, and more innovation?

It’s almost like they lied to us.///

Take the “triple-play” packages—cable, phone, and high-speed Internet access—that tens of millions of Americans buy from companies like Comcast and Time Warner Cable. In France, a country often portrayed as an economic and technological laggard, the monthly cost of these packages is roughly forty dollars a month—about a quarter of what we Americans pay.

I’m guessing having a giant cable/internet monopoly here isn’t going to result in lower prices.
