Re: Good said by EPS:If you read the article, it talks about "wholesale a la carte", forcing cable channels to stop bundling of their channels to distributors, i.e., about allowing Comcast to buy just ESPN without getting forced to get ESPN8 as part of the bargain. But to do that Martin has to regulate Hollywood studios. And I don't think he has or will get the backing to do that.

There's no way they are going to give up that revenue. Yes, both of these points are correct, and Martin, not being stupid, knows them. Therefore, this is just political smoke-blowing and won't go beyond empty talk.

Combining those two quotes, considering where they each came from, really illustrates just how horrible a commissioner Martin is. |
