Tough going!

  A quick update on my earlier post "Government Run Amok!" - wanted to call attention to what people have been saying, and providing some followup media coverage on the DPUC decision.

   The Communications Workers of America Local 1298 organized a rally in Hartford - both AT&T and the union have been lobbying state officials to fight the cable television license requirement.

   The Day ran a well-written editorial that highlights many of the implications of the ruling - lost jobs, fewer consumer options, and higher service prices.   Also, the Hartford Courant featured some relevant letters to the editor, criticizing the constraint on cable competition.

   We know that you share our concerns about restrictive government regulations that limit business competition, growth and innovation, so we'll continue to keep you updated and informed about this developing issue.
