If cable companies can no longer rake in $20 billion a year in rental fees for set-top boxes, they'll start charging more for TV, according to a new report by New Street Research analyst Jonathan Chaplin. “STB revenue is just video revenue in disguise,” he writes, according to Consumerist. The report comes as the FCC is considering a Google-backed proposal to "unlock" set-top boxes.
