Senate Hearting: NCTA Responds to Martin's Remarks
FCC Chairman Kevin Martin testified before the Senate Commerce Committee’s Oversight Hearing On Telecommunications Issues earlier today. Addressing the price of basic cable, Martin said it has “gone up at a disproportionate rate...when compared against over communications sectors.” (Click here for his complete remarks.) In response, the National Cable & Telecommunications Association released the following statement: “A real analysis of today’s marketplace shows the actual price of cable’s bundle of video, Internet and telephone services is 20 percent lower than the price of the same package of services 10 years ago. Chairman Martin's comments reflect an outdated, incomplete and wholly inaccurate analysis that doesn't reflect the realities of today’s marketplace, where consumers enjoy more competition, greater choice and better services than ever before.”
