[SOURCE: Hollywood Reporter, AUTHOR: Brooks Boliek]
A Q&A with Chairman Martin who lists accomplishments over the last year as: 1) the decision on emergency 911 and Internet telephone service, 2) regulatory parity for providers of high-speed Internet access, 3) the approval of significant mergers and 4) implementation of the Satellite Home Viewer Act. But Hollywood asks what he's done for media, especially media ownership. He answers that the delay has been due to the 2-2 Republican/Democrat split on the Commission. Chairman Martin also addresses indecency, a la carte cable pricing, and family tiers.
