AT&T IS CABLE OPERATOR, SAYS CONNECTICUT COURT
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
A Connecticut U.S. District Court has ruled that AT&T's Lightspeed IPTV video service is a cable service subject to local franchising laws. The summary judgment was a victory for the New England Cable & Telecommunications Association, and the cable industry at large. It was a defeat for the Connecticut Department of Public Utility Control (DPUC), which had ruled that AT&T's service was an information service, like other data services.
