I've lived in the same general area for close to 25 years and I've completely lost track of the names of all the companies that I've sent my cable bill to. It's been well over a dozen different companies controlling the same set of wires in that time. Even more interesting are the recent forays by both Comcast (into telephone service) and AT&T moving back into the TV market. If I had to pick a winner at this early stage, it would probably be AT&T - because while they initially sold Comcast a lot of customers, they also managed to sell them a good chunk of their debt. Still Comcast are formidable players. They own the TV ad space and aren't shy about using it to their own advantage. My favorite is the cable company (which also was AT&T for a while).

My cellular service was horrible when it wasAT&T, but improved when it became Cingular. No, wait. It was horrible when it was the OLD Cingular. Then I switched to AT&T. Which then became Cingular. I was worried. But it was OK. My phone works most of the trime and my bill is as incomprehensible as ever. Oh no!
