Bait and switch.......... GM's Directv Unit Faces State Inquiry - Wsj Received: September 03, 1997 04:30am EDT From: REUTERS NEW YORK, Sept 3 (Reuter) - General Motors Corp's DirecTV unit is the focus of an investigation by 20 state attorneys general, the Wall Street Journal reported. The states are investigating DirecTV over possible consumer fraud violations after customers of the satellite-dish service complained about recent channel changes, the paper said in its electronic edition on Wednesday. DirecTV is owned by GM's Hughes Electronics unit . AT&T Corp has a small DirecTV stake too. The company removed channels from a presold package, then later sold the channels in a higher-priced package, the paper said. The complaints are similar to those lodged against some cable monopolies several years ago that led lawmakers to regulate the industry, the paper added. In July, the attorneys general started requesting information from the company, the paper said. REUTER
