Biden angry about cable firms' hidden "Broadcast TV" and "Regional Sports" fees.
As Biden noted, the FCC “proposed a new rule that would require cable and satellite TV providers to give consumers the all-in price for the service they’re offering up front.” The proposed rule would force companies like Comcast, Charter Spectrum, and DirecTV to publish more accurate prices.
While I would also pump the brakes a bit on any particular effort, the Biden administration is pushing back against the dominate thinking of “antitrust bad” that emerged in the 70s. I believe he’s made a lot of appointments reflecting that, which hasn’t happened since the Carter administration.
What kicked off that shift? Robert Bork’s 1978 book The Antitrust Paradox, which is yes that Robert Bork. I honestly think people could use more knowledge about the sausage is made when it comes to government.
