About Me

  • Short bio:

    Starting July 1, cable operators will be required to provide set-top boxes that don't include integrated security features that link the box to that operator. The FCC believes that by separating the set-top box from the cable operator, a marketplace would be created in the sales of the boxes, which could lead to driving down the prices consumers pay for cable television. Several major consumer electronics manufacturers have argued that if set-top boxes weren't directly linked to the provision of cable service, they could enter the set-top market. Consumers could get a cable card from their service provider that they could insert into a set-top box purchased at a consumer electronics store.
  • Interests:

    Helping Stop cable companies from controling what we watch and see!
  • Tech Interests:

    That's the kind of question the cable TV industry hates answering. The channel choice issue comes up every few years, but people who argue that subscribers should be able to choose channels "a la carte" have never made any real headway.
