Cable companies to pass along cost of new set-top boxes

Cable companies are expected to pass along the cost of the new set-top boxes with CableCards to their customers. Cable trade groups have said it could cost subscribers $2 to $3 more a month to lease the new boxes, but the cost could also be spread across all of a company's leased set-top box customers.
