Consumers for Cable Choice Applauds McCain Cable Bill

WASHINGTON, June 7 /PRNewswire/ -- The following statement can be attributed to Robert K. Johnson, president of Consumers for Cable Choice (C4CC).

"The more than 1 million members of Consumers for Cable Choice applaud Senator John McCain of Arizona for addressing the issue of franchise reform in a manner that immediately reduces fees to consumers and gives them greater choices in the long-term. Specifically, Sen. McCain's proposal to eliminate the 5 percent cable 'franchise fee' and replace it with a 'rights-of-way fee' at 3.7 percent of gross video revenues will save consumers significant money immediately, and far into the future."
