Grrr...
Quoted: Comcast acts as though Michigan State and Michigan football and basketball games are niche products, like anchovies or George Jetson tattoos. But Comcast knows better. Executives there are angling for a piece of the inevitable SEC Channel, and if they strike a deal, you can be sure Comcast will put the SEC Channel on expanded basic in Southern markets. That is what this is about. Comcast is willing to take a short-term hit for long-term economic gain. For Comcast, this isn't really about the Big Ten Network. It's about precedent. One person familiar with the standoff said that in the last round of negotiations, the Big Ten even offered to give Comcast a piece of the network. Comcast wasn't interested, because the company doesn't want small pieces of anything. Comcast eats from a large spoon or not at all.

This makes me insane. Pick up the stupid network already! People are allowed to create television networks and negotiate programming deals without Comcast's approval!
What really makes me crazy is that Comcast is lecturing me about CHOICE (BTN wants *everyone* to pay; we want to offer you a choice). WTF? That's how cable works. I wish I didn't pay for E! and that Liz didn't me watch its shows, but I don't write letters to Comcast demanding that they give me a choice and a refund. I understand that cable is a rip-off, but I have no better option. They need to understand that people want BTN and give it to them. A-holes.
