I write a lot about how Apple is such a leading corporate citizen … the absolute best. Now comes an article in the New York Times about a monopolistic company that is at the extreme opposite end of the scale … a company that has put itself at the absolute bottom of the rubbish can, [...]
HDNet Vs. Comcast
One of the big mysteries in the television business is why Comcast has refused to carry HDNet. HDNet is one of the finest examples of original HD programming and professional news reporting that is available on television today.
