More from a panel that included Cox’s Pat Esser, Comcast’s David Cohen, Scripps Nets’ Ken Lowe and Fox Intl Channels Hernan Lopez.

The National Advertising Division says Verizon should modify ads that paint cable companies’ broadband service as significantly slower than FiOS’. But the self-regulatory investigative arm thinks FiOS’ claim of “America’s fastest most consistent and most reliable Internet” is OK.

Much more in today’s issue from NAMIC and WICT’s conferences in NY.
Eye on Advertising features a Q&A with Impossible TV, which recently wove together “Ice Age” and Discovery Channel characters in a special-effects-laden promo for 20th Century Fox’s “Ice Age: Continental Drift.”
