I like lots of competition in markets even for luxuries.

What I find amusing and distressing is that the cable companies are
fighting the Re-Regulation Law by objecting to a De-Regulation part of
it. The cable companies seem to think that they have a right to
rebroadcast over-the-air TV without having to come to terms with the
broadcasters.
