Rep. W.J. (Billy) Tauzin (R-La.), in the following interview with Multi-channel News Washington editor Ted Hearn, warned the cable industry that election -year politics could energize Congress to extend the law that regulates cable rates not in 1998. then perhaps in 1999. Cable operators, he went on to explain, could derail the regulation effort if they offered subscribers smaller programming packages as a substitute for the prevailing "buy-one, buy-all' marketing approach. The always colorful Tauzin said he supports digital must-carry, and he wishes that the Federal communication Commission would crack down on instances of cable price-gouging.
