What Fox vs. Cablevision Was Really About

[Commentary] The television industry fights we see now are designed to attempt to maintain the broadcast television networks' predominant position at the top of the pyramid. By demanding big dollars and using their most valuable content (and not inconsequentially, the content least available on the Internet) to leverage the fees they want, the networks are being smart. One wonders though how many more times the networks can play this card. For that matter, one wonders how much longer cable companies can hold on. Viewers want choices, not just in content overall but in how it gets delivered and how they pay for it.
