    How can a business with a legally enforced monopoly still go bankrupt? I blame the internet.


    Oh, also I don't have cable. Who needs cable? I have the internet.

    @jdale: Snark aside, this is a valid question - you made your own point by saying you don't need cable if you have the internet. Cable isn't a needs-based monopoly - you charge too much, people simply go without. Unlike, say, oil and electricity, the nation's economy isn't going to stall if people can't watch Jon Stewart.

    @rekoil: "...can't watch Jon Stewart on TV."


    It's your basic point; you don't actually even have to go without. You just shift the exact same consumption somewhere else.

    It's too bad Comcast monopolizes cable internet where I live.
