Re: #3 Comcast purchase of #4 Media One

[rd@cottonwood.com (Rick Dahlgren)]

As far as I can see, OpenNet Coalition and NoGatekeepers, etc. ONLY care
about ATT/TCI.....US West, Media One, Time Warner, Road Runner Telechoice
Online don't matter.....especially if they are willing to write a check to
Greg Simon at Simon Strategies!

The FCC has known what is going on since video dialtone...so has the
justice department....so has the FTC.... but face it, money talks and the
public interest walks.....as long as Gore needs money....or Santorum or
Kerrey....or, as it was with the 96 Act, Dole....the indulgence store is
open.

No one is asleep at the wheel....it's just not our bus any more...it
prabably never was.  Enjoy the ride
