Cable TV industry
Article Abstract:
Investors have not favored stocks in the cable television industry during the 1990s, as they have not been able to deliver the results which have been promised. The environment of the industry has not been competitive, even though this was the intent of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, and the basic service rates will be rising again due to programming costs. Investors need to carefully select individual stocks before financial commitment.
