CALinnovates Opposes FCC Set-top Rules Proposal

The FCC should reject changes to set-top box rules being proposed (see 1601280064) by FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler in an upcoming NPRM, CALinnovates said in a news release Friday. "This proposal is wrong for consumers, wrong for creators and wrong for the innovation economy," said Mike Montgomery, CALinnovates executive director. The commission should pursue the apps-based approach favored by pay-TV carriers, CALinnovates said.
