Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on cable television rates and services. GAO found that: (1) in 1989, cable rates and services continued to increase; (2) there was little change in the extent to which services offered as options at extra charge in 1988 were being offered as part of basic service in 1989; (3) rates for premium services have decreased slightly since deregulation, for both individual services and combinations of premium channels; (4) from 1986 to 1989, to cable operators' average revenue per subscriber increased 21 percent, and in 1989, revenues per subscriber increased about 5 percent; (5) total cable subscriptions have increased by 22 percent since deregulation, and the number of homes that can access cable has grown by 14 percent; (6) 53 percent of cable systems have changed ownership since 1985; and (7) proposals would either directly subject all cable systems to some type of rate regulation or redefine effective competition in such a way that more cable systems would become subject to regulation.

This study of cable rate regulation finds that unregulated monopoly may be superior to regulate monopoly, even in the presence of legal entry barriers. By comparing how rates, quality and volume changed during the periods of deregulation and reregulation in the cable industry, the authors show that cable rate regulation deals with a real problem, monopoly power in local cable markets, but has typically proven perverse in effect.
