When Apple wanted to get around the music labels' retail blockade of iTunes, they started with one company, Disney, Steve's other company, for the solution.

How will Apple bypass Comcast?

There's an app for that!

Users who download the application and link their iTunes account will receive a free copy of "The Incredibles," Pixar's critically acclaimed animated feature first released in 2004. That movie regularly sells for $19.99 in high definition on the iTunes Store





Once Google has the US covered with FiOS, Comcast won't have a monopoly.

That's probably why they bought Time Warner Cable.
