Senate approves cable regulation amid rate curb push
The Senate, 73 to 18, backed a bill to regulate cable TV rates and boost competition, sending it to the House as Bush administration aides signal a veto. Sen. Inouye argued rising rates and poor service harmed consumers. Packwood opposed, saying it would curb creativity and access. The measure links basic service to channel availability and competition, noting price gaps between monopoly and participating markets.
