Television's future: Regulating competition

Article Abstract:

Telephone companies were eager to provide video service since the 1990s, but were unable to do so as the Federal Communications Commission had banned them from owing cable systems in 1970. The Congress revamped the Telecommunications Act in 1996 with an intention of opening new delivery systems for both television and telephone to increased competition, lifting most barriers to media ownership.
