Cable competition makes sense

Fri, 09/29/2006 - 10:45 — admin

James K. Glassman, editor in chief of The American magazine wrote an interesting piece this week on what he called the "most penicious monopoly in America": the cable television market. He makes a great point that in this year of partisanship and legislative gridlock, the states (and even the U.S. House of Represenentatives) that have passed cable competition legislation did so with wide margins of agreement. Yet the U.S. Senate can't even get a floor vote on a federal bill that promises to deliver billions in savings for consumers as well as billions in economic investment. It makes you just scratch your head. You can read the article at: http://www.aei.org/publications/filter.all,pubID.24951/pub_detail.asp

About C4CC

At C4CC, we believe in tackling the big issues that face consumers today. It is clear that the safety and vitality of our nation depends on sound and robust transportation infrastructure. Transportation, however, is one area of our infrastructure that often doesn't meet our needs in safety or service. Consumers should have reliable, secure, and efficient modes of transportation that meet their needs and the needs of our nation's economy. We are particularly supportive of:

  • Highway, rail and air infrastructure that ensures safe and efficient passage, while promoting competition in the marketplace;
  • Progressive efficiency standards that promote the development of domestic resources;
  • Aggressive research into safe, efficient means of transportation, and;
  • Policies that promote consumer choice and education in the transporation marketplace.

Join C4CC today to make a difference in this area and so many others!
