This BS about cable companies and advertising

"We can also expect to see cable companies doing targeted advertising using the data it has on your internet and viewing habits. Some advocates are up in arms over this but, again, the truth is that this is already what Google, Facebook et al already do. Now the cable companies are getting in on the game because it's so profitable."

For the millionth time...Google and Facebook are a FREE service that is entirely funded by advertisers (and shadowy others) and the cable companies and telcos are a PAID service!

And the only person that doesn't understand this simple fact is Ajit Pai!

Remember waaaay back in the day when there was no commercials on cable TV?
