CTA Backs FCC E-Reader Waiver, Cites Commission's 'Thoughtful Decision-Making'

CTA backed an FCC waiver for e-readers to follow advanced communications services accessibility rules (see 1602020058), a spokeswoman for the group told us Wednesday. "We appreciate the FCC’s thoughtful decision-making in granting an indefinite waiver," Vice President-Regulatory Affairs Julie Kearney said. The group's members include Amazon and Sony, which along with Kobo have made up the Coalition of E-Reader Manufacturers, according to CTA's website. The Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau order, released earlier this week, said the coalition requested the waiver.
