Should Comcast be allowed to become so huge that they can control program origination? They're already in the shit for withholding their sports network from competitors.
I totally agree that's a major problem, but how about enacting regulations that address that specific issue, rather than a "30% market cap"? Because again, I would really hate to lose my Time Warner service and get stuck with some half-baked cable company simply because the FCC doesn't like TW's size.

What I see that sucks about this cap is not just about the tv, but this includes internet, phone and the other services that they offer.. They don't even have the option for those services and it's not included in the cap... The telco tv will take years to get big enough to compete with comcast or tw, and will never make it to the rural areas.. but since they made this rule it should be universal with tv providers (except dish and such) because they technically cover like 99% of the us markets...
