I think the alternative of having companies overreach is more troublesome. In a free market we all speak with our wallet so if we did not like one offering's implementation of of a less than free web then we move. Not so easy in cable when you only have one choice. There are also plenty of ways for cable, satellite, wireless and hosting companies to innovate without curtailing our access as part of their business models. We have to all stay close on this one and see how it unfolds. I would echo your concerns on the government intervening and making it worse.
