i work for a local government and we get quite a few complaints about the price of cable, and the service, etc.
i agree with you, satellites offer a good enough alternative. but you'd be surprised at the amount of people who would not only prefer more government intervention, but they actually demand it.
i just used cable as an example, because, in my experience, people won't touch anything labelled, "communism" or "socialism." but they have no problem asking for specific areas of government intervention.
in some there should be, in some there shouldn't.
