, his wife, and their children enjoyed the hundreds
channels they now had thanks to cable. One
after the technician came and installed all of

dollars. Anthony could not afford to pay that
on a monthly basis. He discussed it with
wife. They decided not to keep the channels
their country and the premium channels his wife

channels for his kids.
