Cable companies lose round in CableCard battle

Card? that's ring a bell?: Satellite services who have to deal with severe piracy problems because their system is based on so called "smartcard". guess piracy will be equal rights to every provider...

one thing for sure... once the card system is in place (and cracked) cable company will have to stop grossly over charge they customers and sell the service for what it's really worth (about 50% off todays price).; Posted by: Mectron Posted on: 08/19/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
