The FCC voted 3-to-2 Tuesday to limit the power of state and local regulators over cable TV packages and prices, according to agency officials. The agency declared that it will assume that there is “effective competition” for cable services nationwide…

Obviously, the FTC doesn’t understand the meaning of “competition,” let alone “effective.”  And how do you make rules and laws based on assumptions?  Goodbye, cable TV, it was nice knowing ya.
