FCC chairman 'sympathetic' to fewer video rules
Justin Hyde writes for Reuters:
The chairman of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission said on Tuesday he was "sympathetic" to the arguments of large local telephone companies that want fewer legal barriers to launching video services.
The comments from FCC Chairman Kevin Martin came shortly after the chairman of Verizon Communications Inc. said the company would not "redline," or discriminate against poorer customers to the advantage of wealthier ones, as it rolls out its video service.
Both Verizon and SBC Communications Inc. are spending billions of dollars to launch residential video services over the next 12 months. They see the move as essential to compete with cable companies targeting their customers with telephone and high-speed Internet services.
