Most cable areas are held through contractual agreement with a local governing body. This allows them to use public right of way for access. Many cable companies utilize telephone poles for delivering their signal. This requires a contractual agreement with the telephone companies. Cable companies need to offer programming which involves negotiating with various media outlets. Comcast has a variety of services. To see what is involved on a small scale, go to Yahoo Finance and look up Charter Cable. You will find how many mega millions it would take to gain control over even a puny little company. If you are made at Comcast - and I think most of us would fall into that catagory periodically, write to the local governing authorities and explain your concerns. Be sure to cc: Comcast.
