re: #67 Romantic Heretic

Compete with who?

The only real argument I see is it lets them negotiate better deals with the content providers. What the cable providers pay some of these content providers for channels that get less viewership than a decent podcast is ridiculous.

That said, The two largest cable providers merging still seems like a really bad idea, if they were eating up a couple of the smaller ones I don’t think I would have much of an issue. Of course they are practically all local monopolies already anyway. I find it amazing that the two largest providers could merge and have zero overlap in customer regions, but apparently that is the case.
