FCC Chief Supports Time Limit on Video License Action

Jeremy Pelofsky writes for Reuters:

U.S. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Kevin Martin on Friday endorsed limiting the time authorities have to consider requests by new companies to offer subscription television service.

The top two telephone companies, AT&T Inc. and Verizon Communications, are deploying new video services but have complained that getting the necessary approvals from local authorities takes too long.

He did not elaborate.
