Let's say you saw a mugger and a bank robber in a fight. Which one do you root for? That's kind of how we feel about the fight between SBC and the Cable company. Sure, I'm all for more competition to reduce overall prices on my cable bill. (Full disclosure: I don't have cable, it's a total waste of money.) But, if SBC wants in the game they should have to abide by the same rules as the cable company had to in order to provide services on every Farm to Market road in Texas.

No love lost for either of these giants with their bills so hard to read, disregard for customer service or hiring the highest paid lobbyists to 'convince' our legislators.
