Competition is good, and that’s exactly why we should push for franchise reform. Good luck with New Jersey, keep up the good fight.

Those 3 million subs have quite a burden to fund.
Cable [and PCS Cellular] has always been a just make the interest payments business, something old wireline Telco must learn and adopt to compete.

Which is exactly why competition is good for consumers…it makes everyone better. I just hope that I’m able to get FiOS here in NJ before I’m a grandfather.
