    COMCAST HAS A MONOPOLY OVER HIGH-SPEED INTERNET ACCESS

    Comcast has a monopoly over high-speed Interent access in this area. We cannot get high-speed DSL or any other similar service because of our location and the distance requirement to receive DSL, and because the local telephone company has not invested in DSL "repeater" locations to enable DSL access. Comcast is an example of the corporate greed that currently dominates this era. The coming 2nd Depression will hopefully cure Americans of their "love" of corporate America.
