:It seems to me that most utilities are regulated at the state level.
I think every state should regulate cable tv just as they do power and water. The state PUC could set rules that are fair to everyone. They would have the scope and power to at least understand what they are signing.
And the legislators don't have to do what Verizon wants. They could actually do what they are elected for - represent the voters. But will they do that? Until voters actually show some interest and throw the bums from office, the voters get what they deserve. Ultimately it falls on them for being stupid.
