Awesome. Now imagine Cox never let you view pages about DSL in your
area when you were still on them. You got a phone book lying around or
are you going to the library to look up alternate internet providers?

I'd agree that giving them a large amount of power over internet
content would be just as bad as allowing corporations to have that
power but the point here is more in wanting to prevent anyone from
having too much power over content.
