Abstract
The Telecommunications Act of 1996 reduced restrictions oin the cable TV industry, providing completely deregulated rates in March 1999. In this paper, we develop a simple tradeoff between price and quality in order to calculate the welfare tradeoff to consumers of the provision of one additional satellite channel.
