SCOTUS WATCH: CABLE COMPANIES DON’T HAVE TO SHARE THEIR LINES
The Supremes uphold the property rights of cable companies. An ISP named Brand X had argued that it should be allowed to use infrastructure that the cable companies had built.
In a bit of editorializing, AP reports that the decision “will limit competition and consumers’ choices.”
In fact, the decision will encourage cable companies to invest in new networks, bringing cable internet services to areas that don’t presently have them.
As AP notes, there are plenty of alternatives for high-speed access, including DSL, wireless, satellite, and dial-up.
