STEWART: Mr. Chairman, I have a brief opening statement. CHAIRMAN GRIFFITH: Please. Okay. MR. STEWART: I would use the opportunity of my day in the front of the room to introduce myself again. I am John Stewart of the firm of Crowell and. 10 Moring, L.L.P., and I'm here on behalf of the Broadcaster Claimants Group. Here with me today, and you'e seen her in the hearing, is my colleague Jessica Herrera. First of all, what is the Broadcaster Claimants Group? Nell, it's the group of the stations 16 that -- the commercial stations that are actually 17 carried by the Satellite Carriers. It includes both 18 superstations -- that is, independent stations -- and 19 network affiliates. 20 Why are we here? Because the stations are 21 copyright owners. They create their own programs, and 22 they also combine those programs with others that they MEAL R. GROSS COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBERS 1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., N.W. (202) 234-4433 WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 (202) 234~33 778 acquire from other sources, into the broadcast station signals that are selected and retransmitted by the Satellite Carriers here. And the broadcasters will receive a share of the royalties that you set in this proceeding. I want to just harken back to something that Mr. Garrett said in his opening statement, and that is that the compulsory aspect of the compulsory license here is asymmetrical. It applies to us. It 10 requires us, as well as all other copyright owners, to sell our programs. It's not compulsory on the 12 Satellite Carriers. They can select a station or 13 choose not carry it if they reach that conclusion. And presumably, the basis on which they 15 select stations and decide to carry them is that they 16 are profitable. They make a determination that they 17 can sell them to their subscribers, either on their 18 own or as part of a package, any way that's profitable 19 to them. So it's their selection, and that's a 20 marketplace determination. By and large, the 21 Satellite Carriers sell channels of programming, not 22 individual programs. NKAL R.

    DSTAC WG4 Report August 4, 2015 REPORT OF WORKING GROUP 4 TO DSTAC Introduction Working Group 4 (WG4) was formed out of the larger DSTAC to address the topic of device platforms, variability, and interfaces. Guidance Description (Part I) The working group will identify existing devices and technologies that receive MVPD and OTT service, such as DVRs, HDTVs, personal computers, tablets in home, connected mobile devices, take- and-go mobile devices, etc., and identify the salient differences important to implementation of the non-security elements of a system to promote the competitive availability of such devices based on downloadable security. (Part II) For each category of existing device identified above, the working group will identify a system comprising minimum standards, protocols, and information other than security elements to enable competitive availability of devices that receive MVPD services. (Part III) The working group may identify alternative systems as appropriate to promote the availability of different categories of navigation devices, consistent with the Commission’s instruction to recommend an approach that would allow consumer electronics manufactures to build devices with competitive interfaces and an approach under which MVPDs would maintain control of the user interface. Product The working group will deliver and present its findings to the full DSTAC.
