10-7-2003 Ruling Opens Cable Lines
Cable companies would be required to open their networks to rival high-speed Internet service providers under a federal appeals court ruling yesterday that could lead to more choices for consumers and subject the industry to the same competitive pressures roiling the telephone market.
The decision is also a setback for the telephone companies that had asked the FCC to treat their high-speed Internet service, which uses technology known as digital subscriber line, or DSL, with the same deregulatory approach as cable. A separate effort by the FCC to eliminate some of the regulations governing high-speed Internet service over phone lines is now effectively in limbo until the issue is resolved.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This will never fly. The Government just allowed the Telephone Companies to shut out it's competition on phone lines (DSL) and the Goverment will continue to let Cable Operators shut out competition.
The U.S. is now an anti-Competitive Country as it continues to head down a Socialist path.
