A new Assembly bill would allow telephone companies to compete directly against cable television providers. The bill’s co-authors, Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez and Assemblyman Lloyd Levine, say the legislation would give Californians lower cable television prices and more choice. Opponents say the bill does not assure all customers would have access to all services and that it would create a new formula for determining what revenue could be taxed. Larry and his Lloyd Levine, Assemblyman representing California’s 40th District, Marc Burgat, Director of Government Affairs for the California Cable & Telecommunications Association, Bill Bogaard, Mayor of Pasadena, Regina Costa, Telecommunications Research Director for TURN, The Utility Reform Network, and Professor Adam Clayton Powell III, Director of USC's Integrated Media Systems Center discuss the pros and cons of the pending legislation.
