Two events at the FCC this week: an open meeting today and the Consumer
Advisory Committee meeting tomorrow (see you there). For these and other
upcoming media policy events, see http://www.benton.org/calendar.htm
Two sets of dates to keep in mind: 1) The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on
the cable horizontal ownership proceeding has appeared in today's Federal
Register -- official comment date is July 8, and replies July 25. 2) The
Commission has published a notice in the Federal Register inviting the
public to comment on its rules with ten-year anniversary dates in the years
2002-2005. The Commission is seeking comment on whether those rules should
be continued without change, amended or rescinded in order to minimize any
significant impact those rules may have on small entities pursuant to
Section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. Comments are due on
September 1, 2005. (Notice, DA 05-1524, FR Doc 05-11170)
