Re: going back to the 80's

said by wifi4milez:

I dont debate that cable co's no longer charge per outlet. However what he said was;

"remember the 80's, when cable companies used to make you rent their cable box, and it was expensive and they charged for each additional outlet

and then, the fcc which apprently once actually protected consumers instead of industry, passed laws making it illegal to charge for extra outlets or require cable boxes"

Everything mentioned above is still common practice except the per outlet charges. The cable co's require you to rent a cable box if you get digital cable, and they still charge per box.
I guess you've got me stumped. The bottom line is that you aren't charged per cable outlet anymore--that's been outlawed for a long time.

Where did anyone say that charging for boxes is illegal?
