TV COMPETITION COULD SAVE CONSUMERS BIG BUCKS
[SOURCE: C-Net|News.com, AUTHOR: Marguerite Reardon]
Yale Braunstein, professor in the School of Information at UC Berkeley, found in a study focused on the California cable television market that prices dropped 15 percent to 22 percent when cable companies competed with another wireline paid-TV provider, such as a telephone company. Braunstein's report, which was commissioned and paid for by AT&T, is one of the first studies to quantify how much consumers could save if phone companies competed directly against cable operators in the video market.
