Everyone likes to watch TV.

Television is a means of information that provides the

opportunity to learn other cultures by discovering other regions of the world or other

peoples. Cable television is the technical solution for distributing television programs to

consumers. Today we have several companies that offer cable services. For instance, just

one cable company in India has more than 80 million subscribers. In the United States,

nearly 90 percent of the population has cable TV. Unfortunately this type of service is not

available everywhere. Because viewers have limited options and because cable

companies overcharge for their services, I believe that viewers have a right to use free,

unauthorized cable services.

Cable companies charge a ridiculous amount for their services. As in the folowing

examples, in the U.S. The family-plan package starts at about $80 per month, has a

separate installation fee, and does not even include the movie channels. These packages

consist of nine to eleven special movie channels. All the same, only two of the nine are

usually worth watching. Most of the movies shown are old and tend to be constantly

repeated. Consequently, costumers are encouraged to get other packages to obtain the

channels they want. There is one that includes phone services and cable for $100, but this

discounted price is only good if you are a new customer. Once this initial period is over,

the price for the same service increases more than $60 per month. The service is simply

not worth paying for. Nevertheless, there is another alternative called digital satellite.

Satellite service is cheaper and the quality is inferior. However, it is not a good

alternative for viewers. An exaples of this is images on TV may be disturbed by the

weather. Especially, many buildings do not allow tenants to use satellite dishes because

strong wind, snow, or rainstorms can knock down the dish and cause an accident. An
individual can not order satellite unless all, or at least a majority, of the tenants agree.

Therefore, I see no other option than to use the cable signal illegally.
