Must-carry rules
Article Abstract:
The must-carry portion of the 1992 Telecom law is aimed at cable operators whom Congress feels have too much power over broadcasts and virtually no competition within their communities. The law, challenged by the operators, is being reviewed by the Supreme Court after a lower court upheld the must-carry rule. The complexities of the case do not allow prediction of the Supreme Court's possible decision on this matter.
