The FAXIES Awards Finalists www.cablefaxdaily.com, Published by Access Intelligence, LLC, Tel: 301-354-2101 45 Pages Today Cablefax DailyTM Wednesday — June 1, 2016 What the Industry Reads First Volume 27 / No. 104 Patent Punches: Comcast Tells Rovi... Don’t Mess with Texas First Rovi sued Comcast, alleging patent infringement. Now, Comcast has returned the favor, accusing the tech company of breaching its contract by filing that patent lawsuit in federal court in TX and by going to theInternational Trade Com- mission with a complaint. Comcast said that clauses in a licensing agreement require Rovi to file any litigation in NY (and yes, Comcast filed its suit last week in the US District Court for the Southern District of NY). Comcast also maintains that it hasn’t infringed on Rovi’s patents. Rovi believes it filed its lawsuits in the appropriate venue, saying it took the action after “numerous” attempts at negotiation. “Comcast had licensed Rovi’s technology for more than a decade, and rather than renew its license, Comcast opted to continue to use our patented technology without our permission,” said Samir Armaly, Rovi’s evp, intellectual property and licensing. “While we would have preferred to reach a commercial agreement, Com- cast left us no choice but to seek legal remedies to protect our valuable intellectual property.” While patent cases are never simple to boil down, Comcast essentially argues that it’s covered by agreements reached in 2010 after the MSO bought out Rovi’s interest in Guideworks, a jv that was created to develop interactive programming guides for Comcast and others. Its arguments include that legacy boxes are immune to Rovi’s patent claims as they are derivative works of a native IPG of Guideworks (35 of the 57 boxes involved are legacy, the MSO said). Comcast also argued that it has the right to use Rovi’s entire patent portfolio through March 31, 2016, so any claims of alleged infringement prior to that date are null. Rovi filed its patent lawsuit in TX on Apr 1, with a complaint going to the ITC 5 days later. Rovi, which is in the process of acquiring TiVo for $1.1bln, claims Comcast infringes on 14 patents that involve the way it implements remote recording, AnyRoom DVR and X1 search. Comcast said Fri that is waiting to file a motion for preliminary injunction until it has the court’s assurance that it can file certain exhibits under seal. It wants the court to expedite setting an oral argument date on its preliminary injunction, claiming it’s suffering by having to litigate in other jurisdictions while it seeks to enforce its contract in NY. WinView Gets Big Backers: At INTX last month, TiVo chmn Tom Rogers briefed a few cable operators about his latest venture WinView, a free-to-play, two-screen synchronized sports play-along service. “There was unique understanding of how engaging this is because operators have gotten more focused on interactivity, 2-way capability of cable—how do you engage the view more? Particularly as it relates to the video side of the equation, and how live sports is the key program- CALL FOR ENTRIES!

To further empower voice providers to combat illegal and unwanted robocalls, the Commission should also (i) adopt a broad call blocking safe harbor and (ii) establish a centrally compiled and maintained Critical Calls List. I. Cable Operators Work Diligently to Protect Their Customers from Illegal and Unwanted Robocalls As leading providers of state-of-the-art competitive voice service, cable operators share the Commission’s and the public’s deep concern about harmful and illegal robocalls.

With 4Q results, we may have glimpsed the results, with sub losses (-18K) and AOCF (+7.5% to $456.6mln) better than expected. Shares of CVC closed up nearly 4% Wed. The MSO has held tight since Aug to its plan not to offer additional promos to subs who’ve been on long-running promotions. Optimum Services pres Kristin Dolan said that internally mgmt refers to it as the “no soup for you strategy,” but she added that a “significant majority of those customers are still with us 5 and 6 months after they’ve called us for an extension beyond 36 months or even less than that. We’re pleasantly surprised.” CEO Jim Dolan promised that pricing discipline would continue. Mgmt also stuck to its guns about making the call only about financials—offering not even the tiniest bit of color on cable consolidation. That doesn’t stop the speculation. “Simply be- ing small doesn’t make [Cablevision] a target,” concluded MoffettNathanson analysts, who doubt any Charter interest in CVC. “The Comcast/TWC deal robs them of one acquirer. And the divestitures that Comcast has agreed to make in order to stay below an erstwhile 30% subscriber cap robs them of another.” Cablevision also faces growth challenges given its industry leading penetration in all services.

It is changing how we educate children, deliver health care, manage energy, ensure public safety, engage government, and access, organize and disseminate knowledge.” 1 A decade later, this statement still holds true—only more so.

  • K-12 Bridge to Broadband” Initiative to Help Connect Students to Broadband for Remote and Hybrid Learning
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 10, 2020 NCTA CONTACT: ESH CONTACT: Brian Dietz Victoria Holmes [email protected] [email protected] 202-258-2881 (mobile) 248-872-9099 (mobile) U.S. Cable Industry Announces New “K-12 Bridge to Broadband” Initiative to Help Connect Students to Broadband for Remote and Hybrid Learning In partnership with national non-profit EducationSuperHighway, NCTA members will launch programs that enable school districts to identify students without broadband and purchase service for low-income families Today, NCTA – the Internet & Television Association, a leading broadband technology trade association in partnership with EducationSuperHighway (ESH), a national non-profit that led the work to close the classroom connectivity gap— announced a new initiative to help increase home connectivity solutions for students, as many schools adapt to remote and hybrid learning classrooms amid the coronavirus pandemic. The K-12 Bridge to Broadband initiative will scale innovative solutions that are helping public school districts and states identify and potentially connect students in low-income families, enabling more students to participate in remote or hybrid learning. In announcing the K-12 Bridge to Broadband program, NCTA and ESH released a framework of core principles that will support the initiative from leading cable internet service providers for working with school districts or states to better identify unconnected, but serviceable, student households and to offer sponsored service arrangements that can potentially connect students in this school year. Since the pivot to remote learning began in the spring, many school districts have struggled to determine which families lack internet access at home. Building on the recent successful school district partnerships in Chicago, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Las Vegas, Des Moines and several other cities, the new initiative will help school districts efficiently identify students without service at home.
