MAP Files Letter in Support of Cable Ownership Caps
Posted: Wednesday March 21, 2007
On behalf of independent producers, and a diverse coalition of media reform, religious, consumer, and civil rights groups, MAP filed a letter with the FCC applauding reports that Chairman Kevin Martin has circulated an order reaffirming the FCC’s 30% limit on the number of cable subscribers any one company can control.
“The cable companies have spread a lot of misinformation in the last few days to try to scare the FCC into dropping the rule,” said Harold Feld, Senior Vice President of Media Access Project. “Every American knows that cable doesn’t face ‘effective competition’ every time they get a cable bill or need to call for service.”
