Cable Companies Need True Competition and Openness. Now. [View article]
I share your sentiments!
I also have to say that poor customer service is becoming the norm in America. Most of these agents are being paid only a few dollars above minimum wage (products of our wonderful public education system).
What the FCC should do is set-up a new system that would require cable providers to give customers the choice for a la carte menu to chose from. They should also require that the big providers offer a minimum number of small/independent broadcasters at {their own set price}.
I see a future where your TV offers you hundreds of thousands of channels and all you need to be a broadcaster is a computer and broadband connection. If broadcasts of individual channels were priced according to what the producers ask for, that would create the ideal environment for successful competition.
I'd also like to see thousands of educational lectures and courses offered for free 24/7 without any box or subscription in every state. This should actually be mandated by the federal government considering our public educational institutions are becoming more akin to youth detention centers, especially in our deteriorating cities.
