Brand X

The Supreme Court today heard agruments from the twos sides of the case that pits Brand X and the Cable companies over the definition whether the "bundling" of services such as Cable TV, Internet and Telephony provided by the Cable companies, should open up their networks to other providers.

It is speculated, that the case will boil down to the definition of "information service" or "telecomunications". In a news.com article written today, it stated that "Several of the justices appeared to scratch their head over why the two industries should be regulated differently".

According to News Channel 3 Palm Spring, CA - "Justice Stephen Breyer likened cable Internet access to telephone service, a parallel that would lead ultimately to competition".
