A Cable TV apologist:<p>&gt; If anything, pay TV providers are losing ground rather than strengthening their control over the video stream.  Hamstrung by rising prices for content from mega-producers including Disney, CBS and Fox, as well as complicated FCC rules imposed on the pay TV providers that the innovators don’t have to follow, pay TV subscriptions have plummeted by the millions in the last few years as cord-cutting becomes both better and cheaper.<p>Fact check:<p>1. High-speed Internet is still provided exclusively in many cases by the poor Pay TV providers<p>2. Protecting a cable TV&#x27;s business model is not the FCC responsibility.<p>3. Cable rates keep going up faster than inflation.
