I'll give you that one as being unfair. I'd be surprised though if that continues to be the case with the new framework being proposed. The article did mention that the cable companies have the choice whether to pay the network what they want, or drop them. This seems like a much better framework than the alternative they were proposing which would have seen a mandated fee charged to the cable company.
