Comcast Questions FCC’s Efficiency

COMCAST QUESTIONS FCC'S EFFICIENCY
[SOURCE: Multichannel News, AUTHOR: Ted Hearn]
Comcast is pointing out that the Federal Communications Commission’s interest in speeding phone company entry into local video markets seems to clash with the plodding pace at which the agency is reviewing pending cable requests for action. In a Dec. 11 letter filed at the FCC, Comcast claimed that the FCC has sat on at least five Comcast “petitions for effective competition” for more than two years and that the agency failed to act on Comcast’s major set-top box waiver request within the 90-day window mandated by federal law. Comcast’s physician-heal-thyself tone was a rare slap at the powerful regulatory body, and it could be a sign that the largest U.S cable operator will no longer disguise its frustration with FCC chairman Kevin Martin, who is attempting to placate AT&T and Verizon on video policy.
