The report found, unsurprisingly, that where there is a choice of two cable companies (only 2% of markets) consumers benefit with cable prices approximately 15% lower than those markets without competition. Where direct broadcast satellite providers can provide local channels cable companies respond by offering better service. Also, unsurprisingly, networks with a cable affiliation are more likely to be available than those networks without a cable affiliation.

I was searching the net for cable providers, in order to try to persuade one to consider doing business in my local area. I came across this article about how having a choice in cable companies is good for the consumer. Do you have any advice on what i can do to get another company in the area? Our current cable company, Cable One, has the highest prices, worst service, and worst choice of programing i have ever seen. They usually don't show up for appointments. They don't carry comedy central or many other channels i watched when i lived elsewhere. My cable has not worked right for two months and i still can not get them to fix it. For all this we pay just under $100 per month. Pathetic! Our little metro are here has over 500,000 residents, not to mention all the casinos, resorts, military installations, and other big users of cable services. I think our area can support another cable company. What can i do to help make that happen?
