Re: When was last time your electric meter chkd by gov't? said by BF69:said by Linklist:Cable companies are regulated 6 ways from Sunday. By state & local boards and by the FCC. A) no they don't. Cable was deregulated back in the 1980's trust me I'm old enough to remember. If cable was REALLY regulated your cable bill would be at least 1/3 lower than it is now. Apparently you're not old enough to know better.. um.. back in the mid 90's when regulation came into play, the government promised that rates would drop under new rules and regulation... however, the average cable bill went up 15% across the nation. How's THAT for government help?
Cable was unregulated, regulated, unregulated.. so on and so on...
And your second mistake.. yes, the FA CAN in fact tell the company where they must provide internet services... so long as they do it at the time of contract renegotiation. When the contract is up for renewal, everything is negotiable. |
