Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
the difference is that we the people (at least in theory) control the government. We don't control Comcast.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
let me put it to you this way: Comcast *will* find a way to kill Netflix, because they control broadband pipes to homes. Repeat, forever.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
example: FM radio was invented in 1933 but not widely used until the 70s. Why? AM radio $$$ controlled the FCC.
