DBA ACACONNECTS", 54528, "AMERICAN CABLE ASSOCIATION, INC. DBA ACACONNECTS", 2010, "first_quarter", "COM", "Please see the addendum attached for the full text of COM issues covered. ACA let lawmakers know that the group filed comments with the FCC regarding its inquiry into Video Device Innovation as part of its development of a National Broadband Plan (DA 09-2519, GN Docket Nos. 09-47, 09-51, 09-137; CS Docket No. 97-80).  The ACA explained the problems facing small and medium-sized cable operators in the marketplace under the current set top box rules; and the solutions that the Commission can implement that would encourage the development of competition and innovation in the market without causing undue harm to smaller video distributors and their customers.\n\nIn response to the Federal Communications Commission granting a pair of set-top box waivers that would allow small cable operators to transition their facilities to digital platforms in a more cost-efficient manner, the ACA told members of Congress that it was pleased that the Commission recognizes the need to continue granting waivers from the existing rules at the same time it solicits comments on how the agency can encourage innovation in the video device market as part of its development of a National Broadband Plan.\n\nThe ACA notified members of Congress of its filing at the FCC in support of the WaveDivision Holdings et al.s program access complaint against Comcast Corporation et al. (CSR-8257-P).  ACA explained that the allegations against Comcast are an example of a vertically integrated cable operator using its market power and bad faith bargaining tactics to discriminate in the prices, terms and conditions for the sale of its programming to small cable operators.  \n\nWith regard to the FCCs Rulemaking in the Matter of Preserving the Open Internet (GN Docket No. 09-191, WC Docket No. 07-52), ACA informed Congress of its comments in which the group proposed policies designed to secure a balanced broadband ecosystem that protected the interests of consumers, safeguards the benefits of an open Internet and preserved the incentive structure needed to justify the financial risk of deploying broadband facilities in rural, low-density communities.\n\nThe ACA explained to lawmakers know that the group filed comments with the FCC in the matter regarding the role of the Universal Service Fund and Intercarrier Compensation in the National Broadband Plan (GN Docket No. 09-51, WC Docket No. 05-337, and RM-11584) urging the Commission to ensure that voice providers with 100,000 service lines or fewer do not lose access to USF funding under any interpretation of ACAs own proposal to eliminate subsidies to telephone carriers that face competition in their markets from entities not dependent on government financial support. \n\nThe ACA let members of Congress know that competition will suffer and consumers will face sharply higher monthly bills if the joint venture between Comcast Corp. and NBC Universal is approved without suitable conditions that meaningfully restrict the new companys ability and incentive to use its greatly enhanced market power in anti-competitive ways.  As part of its advocacy, ACA told Congress why existing program access rules and previous merger conditions imposed on pay television providers and programmers are an inadequate remedy for the harms of this deal.  ACA also notified Congress of its request that Comcast withdraw from its court attack against the FCCs critical pro-competition rules for the pay TV distribution.\n\nLawmakers were informed by the American Cable Association that the group joined a large and diverse coalition of companies and organizations to call upon the FCC to start a rulemaking on retransmission consent, which the Commission subsequently issued a public notice for comment on the Petition (DA 10-474).  Moreover, ACA explained to Congress its belief that broadcasters engage in rampant price discriminate against smaller operators by charging significantly higher per subscriber rates than larger operators in the same market.\n\nThe ACA let Congress know of its commendation of the FCC for producing a forward-looking National Broadband Plan that incorporated several key policy recommendations that ACA proposed in an effort to make more efficient use of federal money without overlooking the needs of smaller providers with facilities deployed in thinly populated rural communities.", "Federal Communications Commission (FCC),HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,Justice, Dept of (DOJ),SENATE,Small Business Administration (SBA)", null, 120000, 0, 0, "2010-04-15T10:23:38.063000-04:00"], [913412, "e4af3bdd-608a-4341-8962-cc2d66ef89f1", "1T", "CLARK & WEINSTOCK", 9443, "BROADBAND INTERNATIONAL", 2010, "first_quarter", "COM", "Broadband Technology Opportunities Program, Broadband Initiatives Program and other broadband programs.", "Agriculture, Dept of (USDA),HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,Natl Telecommunications & Information Administration (NTIA),SENATE", null, null, 0, 1, "2010-04-15T11:20:52.823000-04:00"], [913456, "f52a2adb-1d84-4ea5-916a-aa0dc12a4b33", "Q1", "MEHLMAN CONSULTING, INC.", 284950, "ELECTRONIC RETAILING ASSOCIATION", 2010, "first_quarter", "COM", "Sales Tax Fairness and Simplification Act\nTestimonial issue under consideration at FTC and Congressional consideration/review.", "HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,SENATE", 40000, null, 0, 0, "2010-04-15T11:33:11.507000-04:00"], [913491, "deb32607-7f68-44aa-b9ca-ccbdd666f583", "Q1", "AMERICAN ADVERTISING FEDERATION", 1411, "AMERICAN ADVERTISING FEDERATION", 2010, "first_quarter", "COM", "HR 3458, To amend the Communications Act of 1934 to establish a national broadband policy, safeguard consumer rights, spur investment and innovation, and for related purposes\nHR 1084, To require the Federal Communications Commission to prescribe a standard to preclude commercials from being broadcast at louder volumes than the program material they accompany.
