This is the what all cable companies should do. The picture quality on cable looks like crap anyway, so why not focus on the services they do best; internet and landline phone. Let cable nets go to internet-only distribution and let broadcasters be broadcasters. In the end, everyone benefits and the McCain bill becomes unnecessary.
