Comcast, Charter and the satellite companies are already getting in knife fights over content. I think I&#x27;m more and more in favor of some hostile rules like requiring major content distributors like the cable companies to offer $0 licensing of their owned content to their competitors.<p>(such a rule would obviously need some mechanism to see through obfuscating ownership structures)<p>The premise is that rather than building up content in order to benefit their customers, they are building up content because they can leverage it to extract rent.
