The Week Ahead
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Craig Moffett of Bernstein Research on a la carte: "FCC Chairman Kevin
Martin's recent backing of a la carte is bad political theater, and bad
economics. His motivation appears to have nothing to do with
restraining rising consumer cable bills, and everything to do with
securing 'decency' obligations for basic cable channels. It appears that
the FCC is using its bully pulpit in its Adelphia acquisition review for
exactly the same purpose."
