Answer:

The supplier of the cable television service

Explanation:

When the demand for a product or service is elastic, a price increase will decrease the quantity demanded in a larger proportion than the price increase. Therefore, the 10% tax on cable TV will decrease the quantity demanded by more than 10%.

When the demand is inelastic, the opposite happens, consumers bear the incidence of any tax or price increase.
