Cable Finds FCC Allies

Jeff Baumgartner writes on Light Reading's Cable Digital News:

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Commissioner Robert McDowell spoke out yesterday against Chairman Kevin Martin's plans for cable, saying Martin's data doesn't support the idea of new regulations.

McDowell addressed his position in a speech at a Media Institute luncheon in Washington, D.C.

He said Martin's assertion that the cable industry is facing less competition and should be subject to more regulation "is a radical departure for the Commission -- a departure being made without sufficient public comment."
