Why your cable bills are so high, and what you can do

Kim Komando from USA Today wrote a good article about why cable bills are so high and what we can do about it.

Why your cable bills are so high, and what you can do:

Kim says that the USA has some of the most expensive and slowest internet service in the world, and the internet providers aren't doing much to improve.  They are also making huge amounts of money and paying their executives exorbitant salaries.  .



It is pretty clear to me that cable companies are now effectively a monopoly.  Dish networks, and DSL can never be serious competition with cable.  Since we're now allowing them to merge into giants.  Cities are caving into monopolies and allowing them to take over the city-operated internet networks.



I think it is time to pass a federal law to put internet providers into the "regulated utility" definition.
