Cox: 6% Rate Hike - Virginia: 35% increase since 2000,
Broadband Reports, 11/14/2006 
Cox has announced that the cable provider will be
raising the price of its standard cable package by as
much as 6%. That's the largest rate increase in four
years, with rates increased 35% since 2000. "Notice
the part at the end where it says users MAY see a
decrease in their bill because of the streamline of
taxes by the Virginia legislature," says article
submitter ck8. "I think COX is taking advantage of
this. To be fair though, they are lowering the price
of the HD rental box."

When The RIAA Hates You This Much, You Must Be On The
Right Track, Techdirt, 11/14/2006 
We've noted for some time that one problem in the
ongoing battle between Hollywood, technology companies
and consumers over intellectual property issues is
that consumers don't have a group as visible and as
noisy as the RIAA or MPAA standing up for them. But
for some time, Gary Shapiro and the Consumer
Electronics Association have been the closest thing to
it, and CEA head Shapiro has proven himself an
eloquent and intelligent point man on these issues.
