On April 19th, telecom giant Verizon introduced a customizable cable package that will limit which channels their customers will have access to in exchange for a much lower monthly bill. This plan does not sit well with most cable networks, and recently the New York Times reported that the biggest one of them all, ESPN, is suing Verizon for breach of contract.
Verizon won’t be the only telecom company to poke the Worldwide Leader, which until this point has enjoyed a cozy existence as a staple on most American televisions over the last two decades. Telecom companies like Verizon offer the network on their basic cable packages.
