1 edit | I'm wondering... If Comcast got bigger, a lot bigger, what would stop them from using their market position for exclusive deals, basically taking channels off the market? I'm wondering if a cable operator like Comcast could get so big that channels could be purchased off of competitor networks. It could be completely 'legit' and a very lucrative deal for those channels...but what about the consumers who are then in a sense denied a choice other than take it or leave it.
That would be my concern. I don't want channels falling to NFL Sunday Ticket like exclusivity. I think these media ownership rules exist in part to prevent this type of problem. And rather than abolish it, the FCC should apply it to all video services including Verizon and AT&T. |
