   So what did re-regulating the cable companies do for me?  I cheered it on
   when I heard about it, but I don't know the details.

   I have lived in my present location for 2 and a half years.  In that time 
   my monthly cable bill ( for "extended" basic "regular" service ) has gone
   from 13.95 to 25.35 a month!  They dropped ESPN and added some BS channel
   no one will ever watch.  They "reorganized"  their bloody channel number     
   assignments "to better serve me".  Now I have to carry around a silly
   translation table to convert from the channel numbers in the newspaper
   TV guide to their channels.               

   I hate them (cable companies) with a white-hot never-ending passion.

   Why do I keep it?   Because I'm addicted to CNN.

   I can't wait, can't wait for direct broadcast satellites.  I understand 
   that I'll probably be paying comparable fees, but at least I can get
   pissed off and take my business elsewhere.

   Do you KNOW that they would like to charge me an ADDITIONAL FIVE DOLLARS
   for each TV set hooked up in the house?  No additional services, just
   more extensions.  Forget it!  If it comes into the house, it's MINE to 
   do with as I please.  At last count, I had 4 sets in the house and garage.
   Do you think I'm going to pay over $40.00 a month!

   I hate them, hate them, hate them.....  < degenerating into incoherent rage >
