#268 John Malone (Cable Cowboy)

In the American cable industry, one man has over the last several years seized monopoly power. Using bully boy tactics and strong arming competitors, suppliers, and customers, that man has inflicted antitrust injury on my company and virtually every American of cable services and technologies. That man Is John C Malone. Malone seeks to exert monopoly power over key stages of the delivery of cable programming to the American consumer.

control over the creation of programming in studios, control over cable programming services, control over the mechanics of transmitting programming by satellite And control over the delivery of programming to the home. А ври стаж із прос. The consumer has paid

And will continue to pay. А монополі так. To John. Malo. That was an excerpt from a lawsuit that Malone's one time rival Summer Redstone filed, and it is found in the book that I'm going to talk to you about today, which is Cable Cowboy, John Malone and the Rise of the Modern Cable Business, and it was written by Mark Robishaw.
