Chairman Pai Pulls Set-Top Proposal

Former Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler's proposal to revamp set-tops is no longer on the FCC's list of items on circulation to be voted by the other commissioners. Top Republican Reps had asked FCC Chairman Ajit Pai to close the book on the proposal, which he and they had opposed. Neither Chairman Pai nor fellow Republican Commissioner Michael O'Rielly were likely to vote on it anyway, but the move makes it official that it is no longer in front of any of the commissioners for a decision.
