FCC Releases Report on 2005 Cable Industry Prices
’Cable does
face some competition from DBS, but our report reveals that DBS and cable do
not seem to compete on price. In other words, the presence of a DBS operator
does not have an impact on the price the cable operator charges its
subscribers. Significantly, however, where a second cable operator is present,
cable prices are significantly lower.’ [Chairman Martin]

actual link with free movement between the Member States in every situation
covered by the measure founded on that basis. As the Court has previously
pointed out, to justify recourse to Article 95 EC as the legal basis what
matters is that the measure adopted on that basis must actually be intended to
improve the conditions for the establishment and functioning of the internal
