| What is "Good Faith" & what is a fair price? The FCC order says that Cablevision & Comcast had to negotiate in good faith and make their CSN & MSG channels available. But at what price? And what does Dish, DirecTV, Verizon, etc consider a fair price?
It was inevitable that the opposing sides in this wouldn't agree on what is a fair price. So what is the next step? The FCC getting in to fixing a price? Assigning an independent mediator with power to mandate a price?
And, of course, the inevitable lawsuits when the 2 sides don't agree.
Look for the Phillies, Sixers, & Flyers on DirecTV some time a couple years from now.

| In case anyone is interested, here is the 84 page order mandating the players involved negotiate a contract. I didn't read all 84 pages, but did do some searches and I couldn't find what the FCC will do when the 2 sides don't come to an agreement. Maybe someone else can find that info.
