Unraveling Cable At Last

The FCC is finally making moves to open the cable television market to competition after determining that cable companies have become too dominant in the industry.

Officials say the finding could lead to more diverse programs; consumer groups say it could also lead to lower rates. The decision would be a notable exception to the broad deregulatory policies of the Bush administration. Under the Bush regime, numerous industry regulations have been relaxed and many large corporate mergers have gone unchallenged.

If French companies can offer TV/Phone/Internet packages for under $50 (see here, here and here) then why can't Comcast?
