I believe that TW successfully argued the point a couple of years ago 
that they were no longer a monopoly and thus could no longer be restricted.
Still, it does stick sideways in the craw. Things are getting (?!) back 
to the old "We are the telephone company <snork! snork!>!" type of attitude.
I propose Revolution!
