It's simple. Cable companies already have monopolies over territories. Now Comcast will have an even larger monopoly. Stifled competition = bad for the economy. Unless you have an explanation as to how this is a good thing? This is not "free market" at all.
Competition is stifled for other reasons, and I think we should wait til something unsavory or unwanted happens before expressing outrage.:manny:

I agree completely though lack of competition is bad.

edit: With liberals in the driver seat of the country I doubt there is much to worry about lets be honest...

If you buy out the competition, there is no competition, which is exactly what Comcast is doing. What is hurting cable competition more than their regional monopolies and buyouts like this?

I really dont know enough about the industry to say... is there really no competition?

Its was in response to the tone of the thread, and the "they are gonna f*ck us" post being made.

You just said competition was being stifled... now you don't know enough about the industry to talk about it :skip:

People were speaking as customers/consumers... YOU were the first one to bring up politics :ufdup:

I win every round, because I think about what I post, whereas you just troll and parrot contrarian talking points. Not even in a good/entertaining way either; you make a fool of yourself every time you post.
:heh:
My point is and has been, nothing bad/wrong has happened yet to justify the outrage.
I stand by it. :yeshrug:

History has shown that acquisitions leading to disproportionate market shares of companies are always a net negative for consumers. We already see this with the regional monopolies cable companies have. That this has to be spelled out for you is more a reflection of your ignorance than any kind of knee jerk reaction by HL's "liberal cabal". I am no liberal and I am not for this deal.
