(AP Photo/Kin Cheung) Google and Apple, which both have streaming video offerings, may be in the best position to upset the status quo, said technology analyst Jeff Kagan. ?These two companies changed the wireless space, Perhaps they can change the television space, as well.?
Media ? Even as consumers ?cut the cord,? costs haven?t gone down.
Although the fierce competition between cable companies and online-video services should be good for consumers, experts say it may end up raising both TV and Internet bills.
The Justice Department is conducting a wide-ranging antitrust probe into whether cable companies collude to restrict competition from online-video providers like Netflix, The Wall Street Journal reports. At issue is cable companies? desire to cap data downloads among heavy users, which would impact those who?ve abandoned pay TV in favor of streaming shows and movies over the Internet.
Though more people have "cut the cord" in recent years, it hasn?t resulted in the price cuts many expected, analysts say. "Cable prices won?t go down unless cable investors get hurt, and that will only happen when even more customers cancel their cable," said technology analyst Jeff Kagan.
Nine percent of homes with televisions cut their cable services in 2011, while an additional 11 percent said they planned to do so, a survey released by Deloitte earlier this year found.
Despite this, cable prices doubled over the past decade, Kagan said. Customers have been complaining about price increases for years, he added. "This is backward, compared with other technologies, but cable television pricing continues to go up." And they may double again in the next decade.
Keith Nissen, research director at NPD Group, predicts bills will hit $200 a month by 2020 ?up from today?s average of $86.
In light of the Justice Department?s investigation, cable companies may look for other ways to maintain their revenue and market share.
One option is to do what cellular networks are doing and move toward usage-based pricing for broadband Internet, said Craig Moffett, senior analyst at Bernstein Research. The shift to usage-based pricing would be good for the cable operators, but bad for consumers who want to watch more on-demand television online, he added. Moffett also noted this would slow the pace of innovation within the industry, and make it more difficult for Apple or Google TVs to get widespread and cost-effective access to cable video feeds.
TV and cable networks also have no interest in lower prices, experts said. "The companies are caught in the middle and have to pay more year-after-year to networks," said Kagan.
Representatives for Netflix, Time Warner and Comcast did not respond to requests for comment.

Cable companies have also responded to the competition with their own new tech offerings, such as apps that allow viewers to watch TV on multiple devices and video-on-demand, said Brian Dietz, a spokesman for the National Cable & Telecommunications Association.
Google and Apple, which both have streaming video offerings, may be in the best position to upset the status quo, Kagan said. "These two companies changed the wireless space, Perhaps they can change the television space, as well."

Free Deliverance Church was in for a rude awakening when the house of worship recently purchased a $25,000 foreclosed property in Dallas, Texas. While the initial buy seemed like an excellent deal, the tax bill that followed was stunning.
The congregation was billed an extra $170,000 in property taxes, despite their belief that the land came with no hidden fees. As a result of the surprise monies owed, church leaders claim that this sum is unfair and cannot be afforded.
?The problem, the church has subsequently discovered, is that while the back taxes were erased when the land first went into foreclosure, the property went un-purchased for decades and the post-judgment taxes just piled up and up over all those years,? The Consumerist reports.
The main issue is that the property at the center of the dispute is called ?struck off property.? This essentially means that the building?foreclosed and then went to auction. When it didn?t sell there, it went back to the government. This particular property had purportedly been sitting for quite some time.
Generally, people get a good deal at auction, but in this instance that simply wasn?t the case, as taxes had accrued.?Now, the church is accusing the government of deceiving the congregation by concealing the massive tax bill until after the sale was completed.
?Then the true sale is not what they?re out there making the bid for. They clearly know that these taxes are owed and it?s a part of the sale. So it?s deceptive trade practices,? charged Annie Rolfe, whose father the Rev. Morris Rolfe leads the church. ?You are selling a product that you that the citizen or the consumer has to be responsible for more and you?re not discussing that. And you?re saying to them, ?You find out.??
Watch the CBS report, below, for more:
CBS DFW has more about the drama that is unfolding between Free Deliverance Church and the local government:
The councilmember for this district, Scott Griggs, tells CBS 11 News there is a unique property tax problem on this land because it was foreclosed on so many years ago. He says while the original back taxes were eliminated in foreclosure, fresh new ?post judgment? taxes were added every year since.
According to the Rolfes, that could be twenty years. The Rolfes claim the city never told them about it, though they asked.?Griggs is trying to get the city to forgive the taxes but can?t do it alone.
Other taxing bodies, like county government, the school district, and the hospital district must also go along.
Rev. Rolfe pledges to fight the government on the expense, as he believes it is unfair for the church to be stuck with a bill that church leaders purportedly knew nothing about.

On June 20th at 7pm at A plus A Slovenian Exhibition Centre the American photographer Amanda Marsalis will present her book Reproduction published by the Venetian independent publishing house Automatic Books.
?
For the occasion some of her breathtaking Polaroid pictures will be on display until June 22. Amanda Marsalis comes from Los Angeles, California, and has established a very successful career in commercial photography, collaborating with magazines such as Vogue, GQ, Monocle and The Wall Street Journal.
?
Of her new book she says: ?Reproduction for me is 3 things: The purpose of a flower, the way the book is being printed, and a woman's fertility/sexuality. ?Myself being the woman. ?I feel in a tradition of classic photographers shooting still lives as an exercise in image making and self examination?.
Here is what else she recounted to Swide.
?
Can you tell us when did you understand you wanted to become a photographer, and how everything started?
When I was 14 years old I started going to see bands, including Fugazi, play at a club I could walk to from my house. ?This was in suburban St. Louis where I had moved to from San Francisco, where I was born. ?It was a shock as a young person to move to a place so culturally different than what I had always known. ?I had become kind of an outsider and it was not until I found the scene built around this music that I felt at home. ?This is when I started taking photos, I have not done anything else since. ?I was given an old camera of my mothers and I would shoot the bands playing, my friends hanging out, anything. ?I could also travel freely because my mother was a flight attendant and my father a pilot. ?Having the camera gave me an excuse to explore more and I used it. ?From high school I went to art school to study photography. ?I studied with Larry Sultan and Jim Goldberg at CCA in Oakland. Their influence continues to effect me.?
?
How would you define your style?
Intimate, natural, very California.?
What do you want to communicate through your photos??
That depends on the photo. ?In general I think about desire and longing.?In an ideal world my photos would perfectly communicate my love of life and all the pain and suffering one goes through to get the good stuff. ?
?
Can you tell us more about your book, Reproduction, and about the exhibition?
The book is a collaboration with Automatic Books?in Venice. ?It is a collection of photographs of flowers that I shot with the end of my Polaroid stock. ?They are a study of shape and light while also being a meditation on fragility and femininity. ?The images have been printed in blue and red risograph and hand bound. ?
Because of Lorenzo and Marco at Automatic Books?we created something I am very proud of and I am forever grateful to them for it.? On occasion of the exhibition for the release of the book at A plus A gallery?on June 20th we are going present the book in the gallery full of flowers. ?It is not to be missed!
?
Tell us about some future project of yours...
I am working on a zine of all the band photos I took in the 90's. My friend Maia Ruth Lee?and I are curating and publishing a book of 6 female photographers. And I am working with Jon Santos at Common Space?on a book of all of my Polaroid work. ?I am equally excited about all of them. ??
