"Since the inception of cable and satellite service, local television
signals have been accessible to cable and satellite companies free of
charge. Yet over the last five years, your basic cable bill has gone up
more than four times the cost of living."
Comment:
The CRTC can rule that cable companies must pay local TV to carry their
signals, but also rule that cable companies **may not** raise their fees
for basic cable.
This is why the cable companies are fighting so hard. And lying by
calling this proposal a "tax".
The CRTC can say that the pie is not getting any bigger, but the cable
companies piece of it will be a little smaller.
