Cable and internet are "utilities" as surely as water, gas, electricity and phone.
Regulate them by and for the people.
We are far past the point, for instance, where consumers should be able to buy their cable by the channel---not the industry-designed "packages".

Give me a break!
Greed continues to fund AT&T and Time Warner, what aboout those of us who go to collage on line? I do and have to mkae several downloads some times this includes video. That is like payiing twice for an education! If you want to loose the customers you have keep this up. We don't have to choose Time Warner or AT&T. the ccompanies need the customers, the customers don't need the companeys!

ISP & Cable TV
I understand Time Warner & AT&T are just trying to make as much as possible from their respective franchises. What I don't understand is why is it that Cable TV & Internet Services are not considered Utilities.
They should be regulated by the Public Utilities Commission.
