This is an issue that many of you may not know about. It is important to all of us.

What about our right as consumers. We pay for access to content, not to a network to nowhere, or to the phone or cable companies content? It seems to me that there is a bit of a monopoly in many areas, especially when it comes to fixed lines.
Something seems a little lopsided to me.
