Does anyone else have an unsettled feeling about the impending takeover of NBC by comcast?<br>
<br>
I am not sure I would want my entertainment owned soup to nuts by a single company with the<br>
proven predilection towards maximum profits. If the deal goes through, it's about 40% of the<br>
channels out there owned by comcast. I don't see that being good for those of us that get service<br>
from thier competitors. <br>
And look at the debacle that was the Comcast / G4 takeover of TechTv. They DESTROYED that channel.<br>
Are they gonna be any better with 40% of the providers? <br><div><div></div><div class="h5">
<br></div></div></blockquote></div><br>40% ... its starting to get the point one might start questioning a monopoly.. I hate to see what my<br>dish bill is going to be if this deal goes through..<br>
