Okay. Turn off all
electronic devices (except one with the screen on which you are reading this blog!). Please answer this one question
pop quiz.
Perhaps Chairman Pai will replace the prior set-top box proceeding with one more likely to achieve his stated objectives. Maybe not. Chairman Pai appears to send mixed messages.
Who made
the following public statement:
What would be best
for consumers? My view is pretty simple. Our goal should not be to unlock the box;
it should be to eliminate the box. If you are a cable customer and you don’t
want to have a set-top box, you shouldn’t be required to have one. This goal is
technically feasible, and it reflects most consumers’ preferences—including my
own.
A) President Donald Trump;
B) FCC Chairman Ajit Pai
C) Former FCC Chairman Thomas Wheeler; or
D) Harold
Feld, Senior Vice President, Public Knowledge (an advocacy group)
Perhaps this answer surprises
you as the quote would appear to
originate from someone with a strong commitment to consumer protection. You
might have kicked out answer B) based on Chairman Pai’s removal of the cable
set-top box Notice of Proposed Rulemaking without prior notice which he seems
to consider necessary in most instances.
