Grrr.

Maybe we need to start applying some pressure to this monopoly situation.  
If enough people "yell" at them they may do something about it.

I would also like to know what relationship if any exists between the 
various Cablevision outfits in the triangle area.  Cary has the Sci-Fi 
channel right now for cryin' out loud.  Does the Cablevision of Raleigh 
have some weenie managers that don't want to make a decision or something?
