:Where do you draw the line as to what's considered TV? What if I watch live streaming video with RealPlayer? Is that TV?
I think what we're going to find is with high-speed networks becoming a reality, a lot of these local regulations like franchise agreements are going to be very cumbersome to enforce. I'd love to hate ILEC's on this because they ARE just motivated the profits, but the reality is local laws are poorly suited to regulating a national industry.
Comcast customer might disagree with that statement, i kinda think its funny and wrong, that these large corps are balantly breaking a law, and dont care. When the courts catch up, most people dont give huge corps slack.
