***** Warning *****

this is a tribute to the old ideas

That the internet should always remain free as a service to the people by the people and as a provider of uncensored independent private media by the people as a device of protection against tyrannical governments.

It's up to you to protect your own fucken rights..

SO what your saying is.... all our base are belong to them?

Comcast quality control is terrible. It's no surprise why they've lost so many subscribers. If merging will ensure a better service and upgrading of dated hardware in locations across America, then by all means they should merge.

@DaedalusReturned I could be wrong, but merging - in my experience - never yields better results. Look at AOL-Time Warner.

True, I agree with you on that. But it can't rule out that all such mergers would be a disaster.

To me it's a struggle between allowing for an unfair market advantage and the possibility of better service. As much as I dislike monopolies and mergers, I can't help fight my bias in this case since Comcast is the only internet service where I'm located (a city with over 1 million) and their service is God-awful due to dated infrastructure.
