Mixed Reaction To FCC Rulings
Washington AP reports mixed reactions to new FCC rules on cable and pay TV. Industry leader Frederick W. Ford argues the rules curb CATV growth and ownership patterns. Cox Cablevision’s Douglas Talbott says the impact is unclear and will take time to understand. The rulings cap pay TV and regulate retransmission, ownership, and origination requirements, with implementation not until June after hearings and possible appeals. Hartford currently hosts the sole pay TV operation, facing subscriber losses while seeking FCC expansion approval.
