The FCC, with Chairman Brendan Carr saying he’s concerned, is taking notice of growing consumer frustration as following NFL games increasingly requires multiple paid streaming subscriptions. Street interviews show fans often need three to six separate services on top of cable and broadband — calling it a “money grab” — and estimates say access to every game could top $1,500 a year for services like YouTube TV’s Sunday Ticket, Amazon Prime, Peacock and Netflix, excluding cable and internet.
