Lost my C-Span 2 (Senate coverage) from my cable company
unless I want to add an additional digital cable box to my monthly charge.

Anyone else experience this lately?

2. Did you move to satellite? Comcast recently bought our cable
company, guess we'll see what else changes.

:shrug:

Thanks.

Save the Internet -- Support Net Neutrality

Dear Friend,

Did you know that powerful cable and phone companies want to censor the information we can get over
the internet...and slow down or block web content that they don't agree with? If you go to the URL
below you can learn about the principle of "Net Neutrality" and why it's important that we speak up now.

Please have a look and take action.

Thanks!

Big phone and cable companies like AT&T, Verizon, Comcast and Time Warner have worked very hard
to oppose Net Neutrality and pave the way for "network management" practices that allow blocking
of certain content in favor of Web sites and services the companies prefer.

I have limited basic cable from Comcast. I would have to get their basic/premium? package if I want it back (@ $25 more)!

:grr:

10. This sucks and yes I would not be suprised to see the House
proceedings vanish as well.
