Monopolies - political buyoffs - campaign contributions - graft.

In my side of my State everything is controlled by two firms who kissed
the ass of the Governor and bought out the 4-man _______________
Utility Board Commission in _____________________. These two firms
control all the pipelines in and out. The 60 dialup numbers which existed
here in 1998 now number ....... 3! All dsl hookups (Quest, MSN, etc) must
go
through one of these two corporations based in my State, and the ONLY
cable vendor allowed in my end of my state is MEDIACOM! Mediacom
has literally taken over the whole State for cable tv. They have ****ed
with
our channels over and over, raised rates, transferred as much as possible
to digital which nobody can afford and most peopel who used to have
expanded
basic now only subsist on basic which is deplorable in content.
The line to get satellite tv is endless here ....... 2 month waiting!

It aint Kansas any more, Toto.
It's Czarist Russia is what it is!

Fascist is a more appropriate description.
