COMCAST FILES SET-TOP SUIT VS FCC
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
Comcast filed suit against the Federal Communications Commission in federal court over its decision not to grant the cable operator a wavier of its set-top-box rule. Comcast called the FCC decision "arbitrary and capricious, an abuse of agency discretion, discriminatory, contrary to law and relevant agency policies and unsupported by evidence," asking it to reverse the decision and grant the waiver. In asking for the expedited hearing, the company pointed out that it took the FCC 503 days to rule on the waiver request rather than the 90 days the Commission has in which to rule on requests for new and improved service.
