Re: What ^$#@*^% meeting at Stanford... said by ross:That lying sack of shit said he wasn't holding no stinking meeting at Stanford. Which meeting I had planned on attending to witness the buffoonery of our Telco-puppet FCC chairman firsthand. I am sorely disappointed that I missed the meeting that wasn't going to be held... It wasn't a hearing. It was nothing but a speech given by Martin where he dumped on Comcast yet again. You didn't miss anything. »money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/art···UNE5.htm »www.internetnews.com/government/···lity.htm
Cable(including Comcast) is fighting back against Martin in the same court, where they have won before:»www.multichannel.com/article/CA6···topstory NCTA challenge to FCC rule giving cities 90 days to act on phone company video service applications Where: 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
NCTA challenge to FCC rule restricting use of information on digital phone customers Where: U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit
NCTA challenge to FCC rule on access to cable wiring behind Sheetrock Where: U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit
NCTA challenge to FCC rule abrogating contracts with multiple dwelling unit owners Where: U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit
Comcast, Cablevision challenge to FCC program access rules Where: U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit
Comcast challenge to FCC set-top box waiver denial Where: U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit
C-SPAN, Discovery challenge to FCC’s dual must-carry Rules Where: U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit
And more lawsuits coming down the pike:
Six national programmers, including C-SPAN and Discovery Communications, want to overturn rules that require cable operators to transmit “must-carry” local TV stations in both analog and digital formats for a period of three years, beginning in February 2009.
Comcast and Cablevision Systems want to reverse the FCC’s decision to extend federal program access rules for five years, through 2012. The rules require cable operators to sell their satellite-delivered networks to rival pay TV providers.
Comcast is just a few weeks away from filing a suit intended to overturn the FCC’s order last December that banned a cable operator from serving more than 30% of pay-TV subscribers nationally, effectively stopping Comcast from making a big cable acquisition.
