Wired Blog reports that the FCC is worried about rising digital cable TV subscription rates.
"Over the last decade, average cable rates have more than doubled. And
now cable companies are charging consumers more but consumers are
receiving less," FCC spokeswoman Mary Diamond told the Associated Press,
referring to the transition from analog to digital television services.
"This is an unfortunate trend for families facing increasingly
difficult economic times."
Is she out of her mind?! If you can't afford cable, you have an option: disconnect! Talk about priorities. The culture of consumption still hasn't caught up with reality, it looks like.
"What do you mean I can switch to watching PBS? What's 'PBS'? Oh, wait, is it that... noooooo!"
