Comcast Finishes PlayStation TV Everywhere Authentication Work, FCC Says

The FCC Enforcement Bureau commended Comcast for its work on PlayStation device authentication. In a letter posted Tuesday to Senior Vice President-Regulatory and State Legislative Affairs Kathryn Zachem, bureau Chief Travis LeBlanc said Comcast had wrapped up the steps needed to authenticate its subscribers for access to HBO Go and WatchESPN TV Everywhere services on PlayStations. The bureau said that work came after multiple talks with Comcast and negotiations "with the relevant third parties." It urged Comcast "to continue to take steps towards" its goals of consumer choice and workplace innovation. Comcast didn't comment.
