Frightening thought about Comcast's power.

Skimmed over a story over at LA Times, about how the publicly discussed Comcast's potential merger / buyout of NBC, could affect what and how Hulu operates...meaning that cable networks are concerned about free videos. It does seem that whether it is to move more content from NBC's broadcast network over to cable, or to get a large (30%) stake in Hulu to control / limit free content, Comcast is making a play to limit our ability to see programming for free.

Certainly the FCC and the Justice Department should be very concerned over Comcast's maneuvers; this stuff is scary.
