Cable TV companies faced little competition in the market for subscription video service until 1994, when a new generation of satellite service known as direct broadcast satellite (DBS) was introduced. Since late 1999, DBS operators are now permitted and have begun to offer local broadcast signals in many markets throughout the U.S. This report provides information on the extent to which the level of subscribership (or "penetration") of DBS has influenced cable rates, and other key factors that may influence the level of cable rates. Also provides a brief history of the subscription video market.

This paper examines the introduction of Direct Broadcast Satellites as an alternative to cable television and the welfare gains such satellites generated for consumers. The extent to which satellites compete with cable has become an important issue in the debate over re-regulation of cable prices. We estimate a consumer level demand system for satellite, basic cable, premium cable and local antenna using extensive micro data on the television choices of more than 15,000 people as well as price and characteristics data on cable companies throughout the nation. The results indicate that, after properly controlling for unobservable product attributes and the endogeneity of prices, the direct welfare gain to satellite buyers averages about $50 dollars per year or approximately $450 million annually in the aggregate. Estimates that do not control for unobserved attributes and endogenous prices overstate the welfare gains by almost a factor of fifteen. The price sensitivity of satellite to both its own price and the price of cable is extremely high. The price sensitivity of cable, however, is low, likely indicating that satellite is not a close substitute at the time of our sample
