From this morning's Earlybird:
• "Public interest groups" today "will call for federal antitrust watchdogs to investigate an industry-wide strategy by television service providers that they say will strap users to unnecessarily high monthly subscription fees and stifle competition," the Washington Post reports. "The 'TV Everywhere' plan by cable, satellite and phone companies" would bring "television shows and movies to computers and devices, but only for those that subscribe to both television and high-speed Internet services."
• "Anyone who doesn't know there is a Census this year will know after" today. "The government's unprecedented $340 million promotional blitz of the 2010 Census launches Monday with the debut of the Census Portrait of America Road Tour in New York City's Times Square," USA Today reports. "A 46-foot trailer, to be unveiled on NBC's Today show, and 12 smaller cargo vans with 14-foot trailers will crisscross more than 150,000 miles nationwide through April to promote the benefits of responding to the 10-question Census."

I am very content with the dish Tucson service that provides my TV channels and internet. It seems that this provider is not part of the trust that is planing to overwhelm it's users with unjustified high fees. Media channels should be accessible to anyone and I doubt that their trust plans will ever succeed.
