My only point about cable "monopolies" is that three companies have about 80% of the market, and the rest is incredibly fragmented. Bloomingdale, MI even has its own "nationalized" (countyized? Heh) *phone* and DSL network. They are not a part of SBC as is the rest of the state.

We have state referenda in Michigan: if people were truly sick of Comcast, one vote could push them out. Most people have a choice of cable broadband or SBC DSL. Michigan could even pass a law requiring that Comcast sell broadband separate from cable television, if it liked
