Statement of NCTA – The Internet & Television Association Regarding Today’s FCC Action to Modernize Leased Access Rules

“Today’s vibrant, hyper-competitive, and increasingly internet-connected video marketplace supports an ever-growing range of pathways for content producers to reach consumers. But while the marketplace has moved into the 21st Century, the regulatory framework is still a relic of the past. That is why we applaud the Commission’s decision to modernize its leased access rules and to recognize the increased constitutional scrutiny they warrant. We encourage the Commission to continue finding ways to clear away dated regulatory underbrush in today’s dynamic marketplace.”
