break up the monopolies held by cable companies.

I believe that cable companies in this country fit the definition of monopolies and need to be regulated in order to protect the consumers. These companies divide up the country among themselves and agree to not compete with each other. The result of this is that most people have only one option to provide cable and fast internet service to their homes. This means that there is no competition for our business and the cable companies can charge whatever they want and the consumer basically has no choice but to pay whatever the company demands or go without television. Our family tried to fire our cable company, and use a Roku box and the cable/internet company responded by increasing the charges for our internet service so much that we are paying about the same amount now as for cable befor
