I don't get how this is an issue

FCC Can't make cablevision give out content for free, why can't cablevision just say, ok, we want a trillion dollars a year for this and we keep all of the ad blocks? Don't like it don't buy it.

Am I missing something?

Yeah, you're missing the fact that part of the ruling is that they can't make any compensation demands that differ from the rest of the deals they've made.

File it under logic.

Yes you are missing something.

If they attempt to charge them more than they charge others then they are still attempting to block access to those competitors and thus are still violating the same rules they were just slapped for.
