Cable TV Franchising

In the uphill battle to get Congress to address the Net Neutrality issue, Congress has instead introduced bills to ease at&t and VZ into video, because, by golly, there are only 3 choices for TV - cable, DTV and DISH - and people need to watch more TV. BTW, three is one more choice than we have for Broadband. And which is more important? Does a community get economic advantages from TV? No. But entrepeneurs do. And that translates into tax dollars and a spur to the economy. Small business is the driving force to Innovation, JOBS, and the Economy. About 80% of all job growth comes from small business. Not from Merging Monopolies who are laying off folks in the thousands (about 45,000 over the last 3 years actually). One more rant: Congresspeople: We already have the dumbest and fattest people on the planet, do they really need more must see TV like reality shows and poker? But then if the populace was smart, you wouldn't get re-elected; nor could you line your pocket with special interest cash; and we would have a thriving competitive landscape.
