Time Warner Cable pussies out instead of being competent

"The good people of Wilson, NC pay $99/month for 10/10 Mbps internet service, 81 TV channels and telephone service. How'd they manage that, you ask? Well, the city-owned and operated cable service called Greenlight came into being when the City of Wilson approached TWC and local DSL provider Embarq and requested faster service for the area. 'TWC refused the request. And so Greenlight was born,' says blogger Peter Smith. 'Now Time Warner Cable and Embarq are upset that they've got competition, and rather than try to go head to head with Greenlight on price and service, they've instead been lobbying the state government of NC to pass laws to put Greenlight out of business. Apparently they're having some success, as the NC State Senate has proposed bills that would do TWC's bidding.'"

BOOOO!

I am not a customer of their cable services but it is fucking bullshit to eliminate the competition in order to provide a mediocre service instead of trying to better than Greenlight.

Face it like true capitalists, assholes!

How can you even sue a competitor for being better than you?
