The FCC recently proposed rules that would eliminate barriers to competition with the set-top boxes that most consumers today lease from their Pay-TV providers. Our goal is to give innovators, device manufacturers, and app developers access to the information they need to develop new and better technologies. A key part of the “unlock the box” proposal would require pay-TV providers to deliver three core information streams to others: · Service discovery: Information about what programming is available to the consumer, such as the channel listing and video-on-demand lineup, and what is on those channels. · Entitlements: Information about what a device is allowed to do with content, such as recording. · Content delivery: The video programming itself. There’s more to it than this, of course, but suffice it to say that this proposal has generated a series of questions about the potential impact of the proposal on copyright. The Chairman has been plain in saying that it is critical that copyright interests be fully protected. Because copyright law is not within the FCC’s expertise, I would appreciate discussing with you whether there is a way in which our staff could talk with staff of the Copyright Office in order that we further our understanding of the copyright issues that have been raised here. I look forward to connecting with you.

    APRIL 17, 2015 Chairman Tom Wheeler Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, SW Washington, DC 20554 Re: Applications of Comcast Corp. and Time Warner Cable Inc. for Consent to Assign or Transfer Control of Licenses and Authorizations, MB Docket No. 14-57 Dear Chairman Wheeler: It has been more than a year since Comcast announced its intention to acquire Time Warner Cable to form a cable TV and ISP behemoth. The combined company would, among other things: control over half of the high-speed residential broadband connections in the United States; dominate pay-TV across the nation; combine even stronger distribution muscle with NBC-Universal’s “must-have” video programming; and control critical advertising and set-top- box inputs. Opposition to this merger began the day the deal was announced and has grown to historic proportions. Over 700,000 Americans have called on you to reject the proposed merger, far more people than have opposed any other merger in the history of the Commission. Diverse industry and public interest group stakeholders (several of which are represented by the signatories below) have filed extensive documents in strong opposition to the merger. 1 The message is clear: the Commission should reject this merger because it would result in too much power in the hands of one company. You have staked your chairmanship on the importance of fostering competition to protect consumers and spur innovation, investment, lower prices and diversity. We agree. And the only way to protect that competitive future now is to reject the Comcast/Time Warner Cable merger outright — no conditions, no side deals — no merger, period.

  • The High Cost of Doing Nothing on Net Neutrality Introduction

    The High Cost of Doing Nothing on Net Neutrality Introduction

    ISSUE BRIEF: Q4 2019 UPDATE THE HIGH COST OF DOING NOTHING ON NET NEUTRALITY INTRODUCTION Business Forward has organized hundreds of briefings across the country on technology and innovation, collecting recommendations from local business leaders on a range of issues, from how to protect IP to helping small businesses use the internet to find new markets. Few issues are as important – or contentious – as net neutrality. This issue brief explains why net neutrality matters and offers a path to achieving it. The term “net neutrality” was coined in 2003, capturing the belief that the best way to ensure an open and vital internet is to prevent network operators from interfering with traffic to favor data from some sites or applications over others. Without net neutrality, network operators could censor viewpoints, stifle startups by charging exorbitant tolls, or undermine competition by favoring their own web offerings over their competitors’ offerings. With net neutrality, companies operating at the “edge” of the network are more likely to invest in distance learning, telemedicine, media streaming, and other new, data-intensive businesses. FOUR DIFFERENT FCC CHAIRS, SERVING TWO PRESIDENTS, SUPPORTED NET NEUTRALITY PRINCIPLES, POLICIES OR RULES – BUT THEY LACKED CONGRESSIONAL AUTHORITY TO ENFORCE THEM. The FCC began working on ways to promote net neutrality in 2004. Four different FCC chairs (Michael Powell, Kevin Martin, Julius Genachowski, and Tom Wheeler) serving two presidents (George W. Bush, Barack Obama) issued net neutrality principles, policies or rules. But federal courts or subsequent FCC orders struck down these efforts. Martin’s “policy statement” was found to be unenforceable because it wasn’t a formal regulation.
  • Public Service Commission Must Fight for Internet Freedom by Roger

    Public Service Commission Must Fight for Internet Freedom by Roger

    Public Service Commission Must Fight for Internet Freedom by Roger Koopman When, in the spirit of bipartisanship, Congress and the Clinton Administration deregulated the Internet in 1994, the results were predictable. Fueled by freedom and entrepreneurship, the United States became the international Internet leader, attracting a steady stream of investment capital and creating the most robust, innovative and competitive broadband market in the world. All of that is about to change though, because the Federal Communications Commission knuckled under to a president whose vision for America is conformity, not liberty -- a place where free thought and free expression must first approved by the federal government. They call it “Net Neutrality,” which, like the camel’s nose under the tent, appears harmless enough. But what’s the real agenda here? Net Neutrality is a solution in search of a problem, based on the unsubstantiated fear that unless the government steps in and places its homogenizing thumb on the Internet, service providers (ISPs) will somehow create unequal access for transmission of broadband data. Thus, we must be protected from such bureaucratic boogeymen as “throttling,” “fast lanes,” and “blocking.” But guess what? Free market competition (which the FCC stands ready to ruin) has already exorcized those ghosts and goblins. Our nation has 17 large broadband providers and over 3,000 smaller ones. There is no monopoly and there is no problem. There is only the insatiable appetites of Obama Administration extremists, who wish to place every human activity under the expert supervision of the government elite. The biggest target of the professional controllers and planners is the Internet.

    The FCC is Involved in a Never Ending Fight to Ensure Net Neutrality as a Law Volume 1 (2) 2015 Fast Lanes without Slow Lanes: The FCC is Involved in a Never Ending Fight to Ensure Net Neutrality as a Law Matthew C. Quattrochi* 1. Introduction The overall purpose of this work is to discuss the current state of net neutrality. Given Federal Communication Commission (“FCC”) Chairman Tom Wheeler’s most recent proposal to pass net neutrality into law, net neutrality is ripe for discussion.1 The court ruling striking down the infrastructure of the Open Internet Order in Verizon v. F.C.C., and the devaluation of Title I regulatory authority exhibited in the decision made in Comcast Corp. v. F.C.C. bring about an appropriate point to stop and reflect concerning the options the FCC has to instill net neutrality regulation.2 Part II of this work will be dedicated to explaining net neutrality and addressing the overall question of whether net neutrality needs to be enacted into law. Part III will be dedicated to discussing Verizon v. F.C.C. and Comcast Corp. v. F.C.C. as well as other applicable case law concerning net neutrality violations. Part IV will address FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler’s most recent net neutrality proposal, now law. Part V will consider the authoritative options that the FCC has in regulating net neutrality violations. * Matthew C. Quattrochi is a 3rd Year law student at Barry Law School in Orlando Florida.

    US Supreme Court Leaves Legal Precedent Supporting Net Neutrality

    US Supreme Court leaves legal precedent supporting net neutrality November 6, 2018 As the OCC has reported on our website on several occasions over the last few years, net neutrality has had its ups and downs. The greatest up was on February 26, 2015, when Consumer Counsel Elin Swanson Katz, State Broadband Policy Coordinator William Vallee, Senator Beth Bye, and Comptroller Kevin Lembo were invited by FCC Chair Tom Wheeler and his Special Counsel Gigi Sohn to attend an historic vote to ensure “net neutrality” to protect consumers with a level playing field, ordering that no consumer must pay more or charge more to gain faster speed at the expense of other users. Consumer Counsel and Other State Official Attend Historic FCC Hearing on Net Neutrality Consumer Counsel and Senator Beth Bye talking with Apple co- founder Steve Wozniak (“The Woz”) at the Historic FCC Hearing on Net Neutrality. Photo: Vallee We also reported on the low point last December 2017 when the Pai FCC overturned the 2015 Order by repealing (in effect, June 2018) the consumer protections granted by the Wheeler FCC’s net neutrality rules. On Monday. November 5, 2018, the Supreme Court of the U.S. (SCOTUS) declined to hear a Trump administration and telecom industry federal appeal of the 2016 U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruling in favor of the 2015 Wheeler FCC Order in favor of net neutrality. By so doing, SCOTUS essentially makes no “decision on the merits,” but the ramifications of not taking up the industry appeal (opposing net neutrality) of the D.C.

    1 March 7, 2016 Tom Wheeler Chairman Federal Communications

    March 7, 2016 Tom Wheeler Chairman Federal Communications Commission 445 12th St., SW Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Broadband Privacy Rulemaking Dear Chairman Wheeler: On March 1, 2016, five large trade associations for broadband Internet service providers (“ISPs”) proposed a framework for the Federal Communication Commission’s (“FCC”) forthcoming rulemaking on broadband privacy.1 While it is encouraging that ISPs now appear willing to engage on this issue and to recognize the importance of FCC data security and data breach regulations, the proposed framework fails to provide consumers with the robust protections needed in light of ongoing ISP information collection practices. We therefore submit this letter reviewing the collection practices of ISPs across multiple platforms (including their video offerings), and urging the FCC to adopt rules that will provide meaningful protections for broadband consumers. ISPs currently play a leading role in the complex ecosystem of online behavioral advertising and related forms of data-driven, targeted marketing.

Verizon, for example, has in place powerful data-driven tracking and targeting infrastructure for multiple platforms and devices, including mobile phones.
