Re: Yes, this was a total con
said by wifi4milez  :said by nasadude :said by wifi4milez :Its amazing that many consumers in Wisconsin that previously had one choice for cable now have at least two, if not three choices for video content. ... yeah, how's that working out for consumers? quote:
Since the law was enacted, cable and satellite television rates have risen even in areas with increased competition
So you are arguing that having a single carrier in place was actually better for the consumers? A) Multiple non-competing non-exclusive carriers with no consumer protections in place.
B) Single non-competing non-exclusive carrier with consumer protections in place.
Which option is better?
Oh right, this option:
C) Multiple competing non-exclusive carriers with consumer protections in place.
Too bad that option has been taken off the table by franchise reform.
