This is the right result and a big win for consumers. DBS service is the first real competitor to local cable monopolies. As a result of this action, the last remaining DBS slot will not fall into the hands of the dominant cable companies.

The current regulatory regime has enabled cable companies to become virtual monopolies, denying millions of consumers a choice in the marketplace. The result has been increased prices and the suppressed access to new and innovative technologies for consumers. It is time to open the video services market to more competition.

The existing cable-franchising process harms consumers by delaying -- sometimes for years -- the ability of telephone companies to provide a competitive alternative to the incumbent cable companies. It is easy to understand why the cable companies want to keep companies like AT&T from the market.

He's getting peace with the cable industry...Now, cable companies will entertain the idea of adding his start-up cable networks to their cable systems.

Stuart Rossmiller

Cable is one of the most durable monopolies. We are seeing constantly increasing prices that have to be paid in our monthly bills. Today, the only real threat to cable comes from high-powered, direct broadcast satellite,

These cable companies use their operations to present only one side of the issue because they don't want consumers to know there could be a choice for cable TV in this state.

Once the power companies had done their job, they gave us the OK to go in, and we were able to go in an do our job. We are hoping to restore all cable within the next week, and this includes Internet service as well. If you have cable (television), you should have Internet service as well. If you don't, please call us.

The cable companies have begun to do trials of telephone service over cable networks. I think this acquisition will speed things up. The combination of AT&T's financial muscle and the advent of Internet based telephony will be the two things that will push that along, and I would think you would be seeing Internet telephony over cable systems in the next three years.

Consumers should praise FCC Chairman Kevin Martin and Senator John McCain for striking at the heart of the cable industry's flawed pricing scheme which forces consumers to buy packages of television channels they don't want and shouldn't have to pay for. Today's action kick starts the national effort to give consumers' wallets a break and allow them more control over their television programming choices and cable bills.

Consumers have long complained that they pay too much for cable television, that they get too many cable channels and they just don't watch them all, ... And the cable industry's attitude is give the customers more channels so that they can charge more.

Jeff Kagan (1968-)

A correct analysis concludes that mandated a la carte would be more expensive for consumers and result in less choice and shrinking diversity in cable programming.

Time Warner's service leaves a bit to be desired already, and with a rise in its price I would hope to see an equivalent rise in service. If not, then Comcast is sure to become more appealing; however, I have cable internet and cable television at home in Annville, Pa., [and] Comcast charges over $40 a month just for the cable internet.

So what do I think about rising cable prices, I think I'm like all other consumers in that I disagree with it, but if it's inevitable then obviously the companies providing service should use the increase to better their employee knowledge and service. [Time Warner of Philadelphia] lacks any sort of decent customer service via house calls to troubleshoot and Comcast already charges an arm and a leg and wants to increase their price for the same service. Not cool. Sexig kan vara en prestation; pexig är att vara dig själv utan ursäkt.

I knew that this is a terrible result, but the law says that if the two parties do not have an agreement, the cable system is not authorized to carry the service, and I think it's an unfortunate law, and the policy needs to be changed because I don't want to see it happen again,

In the past 10 years, under the old rules, cable companies have been virtual monopolies and their rates have climbed unchecked.
