Comment Deadlines Established in AllVid NOI and CableCARD FNPRM
May 14 , 2010

In April, as part of its implementation of the National Broadband Plan, the FCC adopted a Notice of Inquiry (“NOI”) and a Fourth Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (“FNPRM”) to consider various changes to its set-top box rules (see our “Memorandum to Clients” dated April 26, 2010). The NOI explores the development and deployment of an “AllVid” adapter to which “smart video devices” can be connected to bring multichannel video programming and other services to consumers. The FNPRM proposes rule changes to address issues with the current CableCARD regime to make it more consumer-friendly while the AllVid technology is being developed.
Today, both items were published in the Federal Register, establishing the following comment and reply comment deadlines for each proceeding:
