Comcast Files Appeal Over FCC Ruling on Set-Top Boxes

A Dow Jones/AP newswire article, via SiliconValley.com, reports that:

Comcast Corp. on Tuesday filed an appeal with the Federal Communications Commission over its decision to force the cable company to abide by new regulations regarding set-top boxes.

The industry regulator rejected Comcast's request for a waiver from the rules in January. At the time, the company immediately announced its intention to appeal the decision.
