Time Warner is agaisnt the bill because they want to regulate the
internet based on their ill-begotten monopoly of our cables in our
streets. They want to prevent the public from having open access to the
the the public's cables in the public's streets because then they can't
regulate it.
I have an idea. Lets have ConEd be allowed to cut back on the power
supply of the TW building on 59th street, the water company to cut back
on the water to their offices on 59th street, the gas company cut back
on the heat and steam to their office tower, and while we're at it, lets
have the FCC block all the satilite and EM transmittions of all TW
communications at our back and call.
And THEN we can hand the access cable rights to Google and IBM.
