So.... how is this different than the Apple/Disney juggernaut?

Competitor? Who does Comcast compete with? Are there parts of the country where there's actually a viable alternative to Comcast, or where Comcast is a competitor to another media giant? I know if I want anything resembling a useful internet provider, it's Comcast or nothing. Century Link is a joke, and Time Warner has no footprint here. It seems like all we're doing is consolidating two regional monopolies into a national monopoly.

I switched from Comcast internet to Century Link and cannot imagine ever going back. Now if I could just get Dish or Direct TV, I would be even happier. Comcast sucks the big one.
