Time Warner and town and county supervisors will be meeting on FRIDAY the 17th (no coincidence that it's just before the RALLY) to "Discuss" (IE hear the one-sided tale from TWC) why caps are necessary.  If it weren't going to be a TWC PR strokefest then it would be an open public meeting rather than a closed door session.  I full support the idea that you contact your local representatives about all of the issues outlined in this post:

I think it would be especially useful in addition to indicate the following points:

Time Warner Cable's 10-K report shows direct cost of providing internet is going down, as do studies throughout the world (shown in other blog posts here).  The idea that the sky is falling is a red herring. This is about TWC making bandwidth expensive to protect their Cable TV monopoly.  We need to emphasize that they specifically say that is a threat.

We should also point out that, to some extent, the towns and counties have exacerbated this situation by allowing Frontier and Time Warner to have exclusivity and/or providing them with incentives.  If we have competition from other qualified broadband providers like Verizon, Time Warner would not even consider us a "target" for this pricing "experiment".  They refuse to answer the question about WHY ROCHESTER and not a city where they have competition.  MAKE THEM ANSWER THIS QUESTION.  And while you're talking politely and in a positive tone with your representative ask them if there is anything they can do (provide incentives, approach Verizon) about bringing competition to this region to lower our broadband costs in the long term.  Fighting off caps in the short term may work for a while - but in the long term only competition will fix this problem permanently.   Even laws can be reversed by new administrations - competition will be here to stay.
