You are absolutely right, but I think there are ways around it that Comcast and friends have figured out. Obviously carving out territories and sticking to your territory is a big one. No competition for what many consider a necessity. Imagine if the electric company did the same thing? What are you going to do? Live without power?

it's one thing to say they'll probably survive, and another thing to completely actively invest in it. I say actively because it's not like gp poster has it in their portfolio due to some mutual fund, etc. They actively bought it as a long position!
