The Skinny

Like many across the industry, we took a moment last week to step away and focus on what we're thankful for this year. Now that the turkey has been gobbled and the Black Friday deals snagged, it's time to get back down to business. NCTA is standing by the power of exclusive marketing agreements and other tools used for the delivery of broadband to multiple tenant environments, arguing before the FCC that such arrangements are pro-consumer and pro-competition. Gigi Sohn's nomination hearing before Senate Commerce for the fifth Commission seat is coming Wednesday, and all signs point to it being more contentious than that of Acting FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel. But her supporters have stepped out in the days leading up to her potential confirmation, and many of them are independent programmers.
