Cable, phone and Internet companies have gotten wise to the fact that technologies are now widely available to access content independent of medium so they now all sell the same product - bandwidth.
You don't need a phone company to make phone calls (Skype, video chat, etc). You don't need cable or satellite to get tv or movies (hulu, YouTube, Netflix, apple tv, etc). But you DO need bandwidth for all these, so that's what they're focusing on controlling and driving the price up for.
