Do you have a cable box at home? This could save you money on your cable bill. Here’s how President Obama is getting tough on cable boxes by increasing competition for this behind-the-times technology.

the government is threatening to crush our cable boxes guys

we are hesitant to break up the cable duopoly present in the US but hey maybe we will save you a few bucks on your cable box!

Did you even read the press release the whole thing is about encouraging competition and not allowing big companies to shut out small business

then break up comcast and twc by
A: treating cable and internet as a utility
B: get rid of the former cable lobbyist who is now head of the FCC
C: prevent provider monopolies in cities

This is all good incrementalism but it’s going to do nothing unless these huge cable companies - consistently rated the lowest in customer satisfaction - are no longer monopolies.
