Dave Ralis is a cable consumer in real need of competition. If you read past the CEO pay issue he opens with, he makes a very compelling argument of why the current cable franchise system is broken. Increasing rates and no consumer choice or control.

Thanks for the appeal on my behalf, especially considering I spent a couple hours today on the phone with Comcast trying to convince them that they were having an outtage from 10 p.m. Tuesday to 2 p.m. Wednesday and still hadn't gotten it fixed. For that kind of "always on" Internet connection and standard cable TV, I pay $100 a month. Of course, I've asked for - more like demanded a rebate for these two days and received it.
It's time to treat the cable monopolies like the utilities they've become by offering high-speed Internet access. It's time to re-regulate them.
Again, thanks for the plug and reading my rant.
