Every time I read something that relates to the topic of this article, I immediately think of this awesome little song by the late great Michael Jackson.
So I’ve been hearing a lot of talk lately about decoupling from the internet. It’s an idea pretty much everyone has been talking about. If you don’t have a cable TV subscription, you’ve probably been hearing a lot about the possibility of turning off your cable. Or maybe you’ve just been living off the grid, which seems to be the next big thing. The thing is, there’s no easy way to do this.
Decoupling is a pretty new concept in the world of broadband. The internet is a “broadband” service. A lot of people think that the internet is a “broadband” service that we all use once a month.
In reality, the internet is just one service, and the people who use it get to decide which services they want to use. In order for a broadband provider to offer a broadband service, they need to get a license from the Federal Communications Commission. The FCC licenses internet service providers (ISPs) to provide broadband internet service. The FCC also licenses cable companies to provide cable internet service.
The FCC licenses broadband providers to provide broadband internet service because it doesn’t have the expertise or resources to regulate all these other services. The FCC licenses cable providers because they use cable internet service to deliver television and phone service to their customers. But all of these services are just a piece of the same “net.” They all have their own rules and protocols. Because the internet is only one service, the FCC licenses broadband providers to make it available to everyone.
The FCC is supposed to protect the public, not the cable companies. The FCC licenses cable providers because they’re supposed to be able to deliver all of their services to everyone.
The FCC licenses cable companies because the cable companies are government-owned monopolies that can charge as much as they want for their services. The FCC licenses cable companies because theyre supposed to be able to deliver all of their services to everyone. The FCC licenses cable companies because theyre supposed to be able to deliver all of their services to everyone.

Well, there’s a problem with that. The FCC licensed cable companies because their parent company, Comcast, used to be a private company that was then sold to a private equity firm that then merged with Time Warner to become a public company. The FCC licenses cable companies because theyre supposed to be able to deliver all of their services to everyone. The FCC licenses cable companies because theyre supposed to be able to deliver all of their services to everyone.
After the merger with Time Warner, the cable companies’ parent company became Comcast. Comcast then merged with Time Warner, and Time Warner changed its name to NBC. But as the cable companies’ parent company, Comcast, was still being privately held, it was still able to be a cable company. It was just that the only way to be a cable company was to do things the way the FCC licensed it to do.
