And that would be a valid response if we actually lived in a place where I, or anyone else, had more than two choices, 
both offering roughly the same terms and pricing.  In my little corner of Fairfax Co, we have Cox or FiOS.  Across the 
Potomac in Montgomery, they can pick between Comcast and FiOS.  I hear that in other bits of the US, your cable and 
telco might be different, but other than the label, nothing else is.
