Time Warner not providing CableCARDs for TiVo Series 3?

Consumer Fury has a post detailing an email exchange with Time Warner of Raleigh, NC. In the exchange, Time Warner states that they will not provide CableCARDs for use with TiVo Series 3 (which comes out later this year).

CableCARDs allows devices such as TiVos and newer televisions to tune into digital channels without the need for the crappy set-top boxes from cable providers. Cable providers are required to offer CableCARDs by the FCC so hopefully this is just a case of Time Warner being a pain in the ass.
