4 edits | Irony of 70 / 70 and A La Carte by Regulation Requirement
So to regulate cable and require a la carte service 70 percent of homes have to have access to cable and of those 70 percent have to be cable subscribers.
However many of those who would subscribe do NOT because the offered packages are crammed with channels they do not want that run the price up beyond the benefit. There by reducing the percentage of subscribers and reducing the ability of FCC to regulate and require a la carte that the people want and would subscribe to if offered.
So now we know the true reason cable companies do not offer a la carte is to remain below the 70/70 and thus thwart FCC regulation.
Personally I think the FCC and DOJ should file a class action suite against the cable companies and content providers on behalf of customers / consumers being defraded by illegal product tying.
