I haven't read the Globe since moving from the immediate Boston area  
ten years ago, but glanced at the TV magazine last Sunday.  I was  
surprised to see that almost every cable system listed was Comcast!

I've had Charter for ten years in two different towns and thought  
there was still a mix of cable companies serving the Boston area.  I  
guess I was wrong.  Having one cable company serving such a large area  
can't be good, right?  Or doesn't it really matter since there's  
usually only one cable company per town anyway?
