And the thing about regulation like this is that it just resets the bar height for everyone. It's not like this doesn't apply to all competitors.

Unless we mean non-cable competition, i.e. streaming. Maybe that's not under the jurisdiction of FCC? If not, though, then I have to wonder why this has to be an FCC thing in the first place. This is about truth in advertising, in general.
