No but Cablevision may force Verizon to take News 12 and degrade their system. :D

I'm not in favor of government meddling with business, but I'm also wary of sleazy business tactics. Cablevision, by advertising about the extra fees that FiOS charges, are bragging about the fact that Verizon is saddled with extra government taxation, something that Cablevision and its cable breathren lobbied congress to continue implementing as the two (cable and phone companies) businesses began to compete.

Withholding HD programming of its subsidiary sports franchise holdings from its competitors and then bragging about that fact is a sleazy business tactic, and when it comes to company loyalty I'll remember this.
