cable ‘monopoly’ in Houston unfair….?
I live in Hoston, Tx in an apartment. The cable service I have is not good – TV Max – but it is the only one that is available to my complex or I could get satellite but I would rather not. Why dont I have any more choice than just one cable company? Is there nothing we as Houston residents can do to fix this problem. There are other cable companies available to other parts (complexes) of the city. Why don’t we have the choice – like the phone and electric companies?
in Houston, there is something like (for lack of a better word) a monopoly set up so that individual cable companies are allowed to have ‘whole areas’ of a city and no other company can give service to that area. I don’t know if this is the case for homes but this is true for apartment living. I do not make this up – it is a sad fact.
This is quite possible in apartment communities. A single cable company will make a deal with the apartment complex, and they become the sole provider of cable service to that complex. Unfortunately, you have no real recourse other than to get a satellite dish or use the provider the have.
I learned the hard way to ask apartment complexes before I move in what their available cable provider options are.
