They also hate competition from netflix more than from the others you mention, it's a more complete replacement for their video offerings.

So they've never actually browsed Netflix's offering then, huh? Because it's hardly stellar or offers much in the way big-ticket items that compete with anything Comcast shows in their on-demand or via cable channels.

This list of things telco monopolies see as competition is nicely summarized by the blue part of this picture :

And they're getting really suspicious about the grey parts in the bottom too. Better safe than sorry, right ?
