WHAT'S GOOD FOR THE GOOSE
Courts overturn FCC rule regarding Cable ISPs

In a battle of TeleCom giants, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Monday that cable companies must open their high-speed Internet services to rival providers.

The decision - which puts phone companies on an equal footing with Cable - is good for consumers and bad for Cable companies which control over 60% of the broadband marketshare. That translates to lower costs for not only broadband, but for cable service as well.
