| Well duhhhh... You mean the cable companies are trying to make a profit? How dare they! Its no different than what the telco companies do with their 14.99 phone line that ends up being 30 bucks a month or charging 30 dollars for a 6 meg DSL line that barley delivers 2.5. None of these business are in business to give their services away and prices are going up everywhere. I can say for a fact that I pay less for my cable connection than I did for AT&T/DirecTV by quite a clip and I get more channels and internet speed thats about 8 times faster. Im not waving anyone's flag here but so far, cable is the much better deal.

And besides the cost increases above the CPI are almost all because of increases by the content companies.

I have never paid, and never will pay, for cable/sat TV. I've got friends and family with AT&T U-verse (IPTV), Charter, Comcast, DirecTV, and Dish. The prices they pay for the channels they get are outrageous.
Hopefully soon I will get unlimited and local POTS for $19.98 and ADSL2+ Internet, at about 10 Mb/s, for $19.97.
