NCTA's Pres. McSlarrow Warns Cable Against Further FCC Involvement

[SOURCE: MediaWeek 12/8, AUTHOR: Anthony Crupi]
National Cable & Telecommunications Association President Kyle McSlarrow offered an unambiguous assessment of where the industry stands in the face of heightened federal regulations, telling a group of investors and analysts in New York Thursday morning, "If you let the government in now, ten years from now you're going to be screwed." "A la carte is just such an extreme, Big Government micromanagement of the public sector," McSlarrow said. Rather than go down that path, McSlarrow said he believes that cable's menu of parental controls options should continue to be pushed by operators, an idea that has found favor with Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska).
