If you can't tell the legal difference between the above cases, I recommend you stay out of this discussion.
The legal arguement comes down to. The cablecos are a monopoly, period. They are abusing their monopoly position to leverage their way into a new market (as an ISP), period. That's a clear violation of Clayton/Shermen, period. The only way that the legal differences apply is if there is regulatory oversight, then the regulations are supposed to prevent these abuses. Without the regulatory oversight (which most of us agree are weak or non-existent), it becomes a clear Clayton/Shermen violation. Regardless...this has little or nothing to do with H.R. 1542, which is still a crappy bill and needs to be smacked back down the Bayou where it can get eaten by a croc (not that I'd wish that on the croc!). Fortunately, Reps. Cannon and Conyers seem to have a clue.
