I'll never forget watching one of their meetings on WCTY and looking on in amazement to see a lobbyist for one of the cable TV companies sitting there as a member of the board. Gary R.

We going to be able to bring better products, faster internet, more channels, on demand TV everywhere, on a national local platform that's really special," he claimed.<br />==============================<br /><br />No mention of any reduction in cost to the consumer. The Cable Companies act as monopolies, but without the over sight that should govern their pricing. (Side bar - even if they were regulated more in Indiana what difference would that make.)<br /><br />You have no choice or little choice in terms of content. As an example I cannot buy a certain group of channels I have to buy a Package. <br /><br />I believe we used to have Cable Board in Indianapolis. Does it still exist??
