Pete & Others ...

Sadly, all-of-this WILL probably be a "Done-Deal" much sooner than any of us believe!

With so much proliferation coming forth from "D.C." it's nearly impossible as well as rather "Useless to try" making any difference in the Outcome anymore!

While visiting my "Roots" as a youth in Maine during the Fall Colors, their local Cable Company was, in fact, essentially "Doing" that very thing!

Offered a very unsatisfactory captive "BOX" for $1 / month - - - at least, I was unable to make it "GO."

BUT ...for a few dollars higher [$65/mo min]... the entire spectrum of their Services could be at your Remote (their's), of course! Disgusting! ....all ultimately driven by endless Smart Cell Services, no doubt!

And so, I can see myself, taking down my Outside Antenna & "patching-the-hole" in my roof by Summer?
