"We at Charter applaud Senator McCain for introducing the
Television Consumer Freedom Act of 2013," said Tom Rutledge, CEO and President of Charter
Communications. "It is clear that consumers are being forced
to purchase content that they don't want or need. The tying
together of networks by programming giants, combined with a lack of
consistency in pricing for distributors and a complete lack of
transparency surrounding that pricing, creates a no-win situation
for consumers, who are forced to purchase large bundles of program
content at prices that continue to escalate despite the myriad
alternatives enabled by current technology. Giving consumers
more choice in this difficult economic climate is the right
regulatory path, and Senator McCain's proposed legislation is a
logical step in that direction."
