Common Carrier Would Keep Cable Companies from Blocking Competitor's Ads
The New York Times reminds us, yet again, why we need common carriage regulation (Phone Companies Shut Out of Local Cable for Some Ads):
For years, Comcast, Cox and other major cable providers have routinely denied requests from direct competitors to advertise on their local cable channels. Cable providers do not want to give companies that go head-to-head with them any extra opportunity to compete for their customers.
Sure is nice to have a monopoly franchise.
