Comcast has pressed forward for a full review of the FCC's Media Bureau denial of their waiver requesting only a partial ban on the set-top box card requirement.
Comcast sent a letter to the Federal Communications Commission Tuesday seeking an “expedited full commission review” of the agency’s denial of the company’s waiver request for certain low-cost set-top boxes.
The FCC’s Media Bureau Jan. 10 turned down Comcast’s waiver request to have three low-end digital set-tops exempt from the ban on set-tops with integrated security features, set to go into effect July 1.
FCC’s Media Bureau issued the denial 266 days after the operator filed its waiver request and pointed out that the Telecommunications Act of 1996 requires the agency to act on such requests within 90 days. “The failure of the bureau to act in a timely fashion on a soundly reasoned request for waiver … is inexplicable,” the company added.
