I don't think the MSM reports can see that the telecoms are only for competiton when it is in their favor. All they see is "more cable companies must be good for competiton" they don't stop to explore the Net Neutrality aspects or the fact that they all oppose municipal WiFi networks which would compete with their internet service. -- Tom I find it funny that the big telecoms can appear to be for competition when talking about the national franchise laws, but in the same breath they are against Net Neutrality which is all about fair and expansive competiton.
