White Paper on Video Programming

[SOURCE: Media Access Project]
MAP's new white paper on video programming addresses the question in media policy as to whether direct broadcast satellite (DBS), terrestrial cable overbuilders, or potential new entrants such as the incumbent telephone companies, provide true competition to traditional incumbent cable operators, such as Comcast. The paper suggests that unless subscribers can switch from one service to another with reasonable ease, the expected benefits of competition -- lower prices, innovation, and diverse high quality programming -- simply will not emerge.
