"The Cable Guy is a feature film that has been sold largely as a vehicle for comedian Jim Carrey, though in fact it is something quite different. The film is a dark vision of a television-fed America and the consequences massive amounts of television-watching have on individuals and the public at large. Cable is the preferred method of delivery for the television signal today, and waiting for the cable guy to show up has become an American pastime. The wiring of America for cable has preceded the new attempt at wiring America for the computer, and each successive wave of technology raises similar political issues of access, equity, potential disenfranchisement, and the possibility of a twisted American psyche. Director Ben Stiller develops these issues in terms of the plot of the film and also through background elements such as a running trial on.."

"So are these two technologies expensive? I guess that depends on your meaning of expensive. The cost of cable modems depends on the way it is purchased. "Most users rent the modems from the cable company for just a few dollars, just as they rent their cable boxes. An Ethernet Card is required for a cost of $50.00 or so, and most companies have an installation charge of fifty to one hundred dollars.'"

From the Paper
"Cable television in Canada has had a history of slow growth, with an increase in subscribers in recent years. One reason for this is the advent of digital services and the increased possibility of offering computer services along with television services, suggesting that high-speed Internet is more appealing than cable television. According to a recent newspaper article, the number of cable TV subscribers increased by 0.4 per cent to 7.6 million as of Aug. 31, 2004, and this was seen as a clear improvement after four consecutive years of declines (McLean B1)."

Abstract
The paper relates that telephone companies in the US can now compete directly with cable television companies, which in turn will be able to offer more telephone services as well. The paper describes how each company's essential monopoly is now being challenged. The paper discusses the change in behavioral thinking that must be implemented in the cable companies to take advantage of new possibilities, but to also maintain the core television business.
From the Paper
"Today's IT company faces issues in terms of its organizational behavior both from within and without, with the major internal issue often being personnel development, while changes in the competitive environment constitute a major issue from outside the company itself. Consider the problems facing the average Internet provider today, given that the competitive environment is opening up to new entrants so that the environment is changing rapidly. The issue is being framed in California today as the state implements a change in the law to allow competition among Internet providers, cable providers, and the telephone companies. In the past, telephone services were one type of service, cable television another, and Internet services still another."

Cable TV, 1991.
This paper discusses the evolution, regulation, rates and consumer issues about cable TV. Abstract.

From the Paper
"During the 1980s, cable television became a major feature of American popular culture. Cable ceased to be simply an extension of broadcast TV service, and provided new types of channels, such as Cable News Network, Home Box Office, MTV, and others. The 1984 Cable Act removed a tangle of earlier regulation, but left local cable systems' rates and service largely unregulated.
The cable situation produced in 1984 led to two controversies, one regarding obscenity, the other regarding rates and services. The obscenity controversy was addressed by a measure introduced in 1985, but the measure did not pass, and the cable obscenity issue faded. Allegations of excessive rates and poor service from local cable companies, however, led to widespread public complaints."

From the Paper
" Ever since the first broadcast television signals were retransmitted via wire from well-placed master antennas to the residents of Astoria, Oregon, and Lansford, Pennsylvania, in early 1949, cable television has been tied to the history of telegraphy and telephony in the United States. The primary undisputed function of cable television from its infancy has been to deliver a viewable television picture to subscribers in areas which are geographically or economically (from the broadcaster's perspective) isolated from the reception of normal broadcast television transmissions.
As technology improves, cable television is assuming functions which have long since taken it from the realm of simply delivering a handful of relatively local TV stations to providing two-way, interactive services including access to the Internet.."

From the Paper
"In 1984, Congress passed the Cable Communications Policy Act. This Act called for the deregulation of the cable television industry in America. However, instead of encouraging competition within the industry, deregulation enabled local cable companies to establish monopolies around the country. As a result of this lack of competition, cable rates went up and service quality went down. Recently, there have been arguments in favor of re-regulating the cable industry. These arguments call for laws which would reduce the ability of new cable companies to hold exclusive contracts with local governments. This would lead to increased competition as well as increased benefits to consumers. In contrast with consumer opinion, the cable industry is opposed to reregulation. According to industry arguments, deregulation has been responsible for better quality... "
