That photo is certainly not courtesy of Comcast/Time Warner.

Almost as much as we hate cell phone companies. When will Google (or anybody else really, but Google knows, and believes in digital content) fund their own digital entertainment network? I get cable free with my lease, but would not pay out of pocket for cable. It sucks. The channels aren't THAT great, and there's almost as much commercials as there is content. I truly believe that Hulu and the network's digital programming offers advertisers a far better value than TV ads. They actually get watched instead of me changing the channel or walking out of the room. I (and I think many others)would love to have great original content on youtube or Hulu, and get rid of the cable company altogether. Then maybe they'll start cranking up the broadband pipes to match other countries. Does anybody really know why we let the fox guard the henhouse (i.e. let the cable companies run rampant with broadband)? It can't just be because they already had wire…that's too simple
