"We're not just going to roll over and allow this kind of process." Not every ISP feels the same.

...that HDNet is on satellite, Cuban is hoping to hawk his network to cable companies, which reach two-thirds of the nation's viewers. Cox Cable announced in March that it would start delivering high-def shows from the major networks.
