FCC Asked To Examine 'TV Everywhere'

Public Knowledge said today that it intends to ask the Federal Communications Commission to scrutinize TV Everywhere as well as limits on bandwidth consumption that could limit people's ability to watch video on the Web. "The commission should closely examine any practice that discourages users from viewing Internet video, to the advantage of an ISP's own video offerings," Gigi Sohn, president of Public Knowledge, said. She adds that TV Everywhere "could discourage innovation if it requires, encourages or allows programmers and content providers to sign exclusive deals with cable companies."
