The FCC finally released its 2006 cable competition report late Friday, and
it turns out cable did not meet the 70/70 threshold for re-regulation after
all.

 

According to the report, 68% of multichannel video households subscribe to
cable, with the figure trending "slightly" downward, according to the FCC.
That is primarily thanks to satellite TV, with a little help from the
telcos.

It "only" took the FCC two years to release the report.
