Well it seems that TWC is at it again. This time by trying to outlaw city owned ISPs in North 
Carolina. Basically this is the deal, TWC got their panties in a know because their tiered billing plan fell through. This caused them to evidently pull the DOCSIS 3.0 testing from the floor citing that it was a part of CBB (Content Based Billing). (OK guys, that was fucking shady and for more of it hit the link.)
But now, they are trying to lobby against community owned ISPs stating that they cannot turn a profit when in competition against them. This seems like an open market to me but who the fuck cares, what the people of Wilson, NC did is a geeks wet dream. There lowest package of digital cable bundled with 10MBS UP&DOWN was $35! Their highest package was $300 a month but it is 100MBS up and down. Anyway, TWC evidently has a tree lodged in their urethra to try and pull some fucked up shite like this.
Read more about it from these links (they get into more detail but not as fun).
