Well the two biggest issues are 1) time warner, comcast are service providers and content providers leading to conflict of interest when they try to preserve their content services such as cable, and ppv, 2) and more importantly is that they have monopolistic franchise and have carved up the states into their own little domains, and with the way the internet is today, they pretty much are like a utility, a utility with zero regulation, and this is a problem. Heres hoping that we can get some antitrust action here to break up the monopolies these companies have in the areas. I'm all for deregulation, but when there is a monopoly established, there is no way free markets can work accordingly, and the fact that dsl/telecos are pretty much in bed with the cable companies it grows more and more apperant how little choice we have in ISPs.
