Hah. Classic.  But, but, Dan, that trick-or-treating wasn't all.    
But if they harness their own content, then what would you have.. a  
captive supplier to an mono/whateverpoly?  Oh what fun that would be

You've got to admit, though, the ability to completely fade out

be commended.

And while we're doing this with RBOCs, we can bitch about MSOs just  
the same.  One might find a surprising number of similarities.
