NCTA Sues FCC Over Leased-Access Rules

NCTA SUES FCC OVER LEASED-ACCESS RULES
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
In what has become a parade of legal challenges to Federal Communications Commission rules, the National Cable & Telecommunications Association asked the D.C. Court of Appeals to throw out the FCC's decision to lower leased-access rights and tighten the rules. Like similar suits filed recently against the FCC's cable-ownership cap, newspaper-broadcast cross-ownership rules, profanity findings and more, the NCTA called the decision arbitrary and capricious and a violation of procedure, but also threw in “unlawful burden on speech" (First Amendment) and an unconstitutional "uncompensated taking of private property" (Fifth Amendment).
