I am furious! What's next? McDonald's shutting down the food pantries and soup kitchens because it takes away from the "free market"? Hell no. They know that they offer a superior product (I really don't find McDonald's food superior to anything) in a competitive market. If they keep up with what the consumers want, they know that the consumers will continue to buy their food and services. Not the case with the only company that holds the market for cable. If they had gotten off their asses and charged a fair piece(whatever it is to run a profitable business) and kept upgrading and expanding, as consumer demand increased, they wouldn't have to worry about the city government filling the gap. These spineless, gutless, politicians that beg these scum sucking lobiests and industry representatives to tell them how to vote should all be gone. Everyone in the state of NC should be sickened that their tax payer money and time is now being occupied by a monopoly that can't even figure out how to keep their own customers happy. Shame on them! When they put monopolies ahead of their citizens, they have obviously lost what it takes to be a decent human being, let alone a representative of the people. I’m not in NC. I am furious!

All eyes across America should look at this situation and national pressure should assist the people of N.C. with squelching this obvious attack on the consumer by big business.
