Statement of NCTA President & CEO Michael Powell Regarding Comcast, Samsung and Roku Announcements

{Today, Comcast, Roku and Samsung made a series of announcements regarding bringing Xfinity TV service to more retail devices.}

“Today’s announcements by Comcast, Roku and Samsung demonstrate how innovative marketplace solutions are enabling consumers to enjoy their favorite pay TV programming on a growing variety of retail devices without the need for a traditional set-top box.  These exciting developments show how technology and television are enriching the consumer experience while protecting copyright, consumer privacy and other important elements that make America the world’s entertainment leader.  Instead of rushing forward with a regulatory proceeding that will upset a marketplace that is undergoing such a dramatic transformation and achieving the goals that it seeks, the FCC should study these developments and reconsider the path it appears to be on. ”
