This is to do with the merger 3 years ago of content delivery (Comcast) and Content provider (NBC/Universal) approved by Obama's FCC chief a while back before taking the revolving-door to cushy payback job at ComCast: "http://www.npr.org/2011/05/20/136492206/new-republic-the-fccs-revolving-door-is-shameless" The NBC Olympics coverage is the bait to force people to pay ComCast for a cable subscription (directly, or via another cable provider who it turn have to pay up wholesale to ComCast anyway for the NBC/universal content). The more ComCast monopolizes the content delivery and the content generation, the more it is able to continue to increase charges to what the market with bear (as they have consistently done to date).
