Yet another example of the regulation doing the opposite of what was intended. The CAS - Conditional Access System Bill was introduced to ensure that customers pay only for what they want to see (and hence, presumably, less than before). However, the customer is likely to pay 2-3 times as much. Of course, the other objective of making local cable operators pay their full dues is likely to succeed.
Conditional Access System makes you pay more
I highlight how the Conditional Access System Bill backfired; though intended to lower consumer costs via selective channel choice, it likely doubles or triples monthly bills while primarily benefiting tax collection from local cable operators.
