  • Working Paper
    No. 11-46 November 2011 WORKING PAPER THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATION COMMISSION’S EXCELLENT MOBILE COMPETITION ADVENTURE By Thomas W. Hazlett The ideas presented in this research are the author’s and do not represent official positions of the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. The Federal Communication Commission‘s Excellent Mobile Competition Adventure Thomas W. Hazlett1 I. INTRODUCTION Stressed-out undergrads meet deadlines for term papers by cramming facts, figures, and buzzwords; splicing Wikipedia entries; pasting select expert quotations; citing everything twice; inserting some nifty, multi-color pie charts—and hoping that the professor notes the paper‘s girth but not its (lack of) substance. If such a paper says anything at all, the student is unaware of it. Yet it does not overshoot the cosmic probability table that an all-nighter pays off and someone, somewhere, learns something. Welcome to the Federal Communications Commission‘s 15th Annual Report and Analysis of Competitive Market Conditions With Respect to Mobile Wireless, released June 27, 2011. The FCC Report makes mistakes with the Commission‘s own data.2 It contains typos.3 It omits crucial, relevant, and available facts. It wastes page after page discussing tangential issues.4 Indeed, the Report avoids discussing the state of ―effective competition‖ in what is entitled an ―analysis of competitive market conditions.‖ With just 308 pages, 1,306 footnotes, 6 appendices, and 18 years to prepare its templates and hone its analysis (since Congress mandated annual FCC reports), the agency cannot make up its mind. Of course, regulators want to keep their options open. If they deem the industry ―effectively competitive,‖ that might imply that regulatory interventions were unwarranted.

Beckert of Addison, Texas, Candy Sheehan of Coppell, Texas, Milburn R Gravley of Carrollton, Texas, and Euline Brock of Denton, Texas, concernmg the placement and construction of facilities for the provision of personal wireless services and radio and television broadcast services in their respective communities. Your constituents' letters refer to issues being considered in three proceedings that are pending before the CommIssion. In MM Docket No. 97-182, the Commission has sought comments on a Petition for Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making filed by the National Association for Broadcasters and the Association for Maximum Service Television. In this proceeding, the petitioners ask the Commission to adopt a rule limiting the exercise of State and local zoning authority with respect to broadcast transmission facilities in order to facilitate the rapid build-out of digital television facilities, as required by the Commission's rules to fulfill Congress' mandate. In WT Docket No. 97-192, the Commission has sought comment on proposed procedures for reviewing requests for relief from State and local regulations that are alleged to impermissibly regulate the siting of personal wireless service facilities based on the environmental effects of radio frequency emissions, and related matters.

Powell Commissioner Gloria Tristani Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Dear Chairman and Commissioners: As we said at the time of our merger announcement, we believe the merger of America Online and Time Warner will deliver tremendous benefits to consumers, bringing people around the world more choices and more convenience, and accelerating the development and deployment of exciting new broadband services. Attached for your review are reply comments from AOL and Time Warner which we believe make that case in detail in response to a petition and several comments recently filed with your agency. The key points in our filing are the same as those that have been made by AOL Chairman Steve Case and Time Warner Chairman Gerald Levin in Senate testimony and other forums since our merger was announced: * More Services for Consumers: This merger will help lead the integration and transformation of traditional media and online services, bringing to consumers around the world a wide array of interactive services, with enriched multimedia content and e- commerce opportunities; * Important Progress on Open Access: AOL and Time Warner have made a strong commitment to providing consumers a choice among multiple ISPs on Time Warner Cable systems, as embodied in our Memorandum of Understanding. Our landmark MOU has already led others in the cable industry to announce their own support for consumer choice and multiple ISPs, accelerating the adoption of open access in the marketplace; * Content Diversity: AOL and Time Warner are committed to offering consumers a broad choice of the best content available, regardless of who produces it, and to distributing our own content as widely as possible, on as many platforms as possible, regardless of affiliation.

(It bothered us that cover subjects often would obscure part of " &CABLE" in the previous design.) That smaller logo in the cover's upper right -hand comer is that of our parent company, Cahners Busi- ness Information. A subsidiary of the multinational publisher, Reed Elsevier Inc., Cahners publishes 130 business magazines in the U.S. In addition to BROADCASTING & CABLE, its titles include several Boadcastg&CabIe others with which you might be familiar: Cahlevi- siun, Multichannel News. Variety. Weekly Variety. TWICE and Digital Television. These books cover some of the same ground, but they operate independently and compete vigorous- ly. The logo's little orange twister, by the way, is meant to signify the company's mission -distilling vital news and information from the oceans of raw data and funneling it to targeted business readers. That we do, guided as always by the journalistic mission of providing an untinted window on the TV and radio busi- nesses for their champions and detractors alike.

In aggregate, these providers pass nearly 19 million homes and serve nearly 7 million homes – or less than 7 percent of the MVPD market. The vast majority of ACA members have fewer than 5,000 subscribers, and half have fewer than 1,000 subscribers. While their smaller size limits their ability to develop their own navigation devices for their subscribers, in recent years ACA members have been working with TiVo, Roku, and other device vendors to integrate these vendors’ devices into their systems.
