Your view: Expand competition

Wednesday, February 7, 2007

Dear Editor,

I was very pleased to read the article about the TV bill that could bring more competition to the cable industry. According to a recent FCC report, cable TV rates have increased 93 percent in just ten years! Citizens in Missouri have waited long enough for a choice in video services and we have paid the price.

Another choice in cable services will bring new technology, better services and better prices. By passing this legislation, Missouri will have a real opportunity to invest in technology that will better position our state for the future and give consumers the benefit of competition.
