The market for video content is booming and highly competitive, offering a wide array of video streaming services, cloud-based video on demand, and apps providing news, films and programming. This market is rapidly innovating beyond the traditional set-top box to new applications and devices with more choices than ever. Past FCC attempts to regulate set-top boxes have been a complete failure. Yet another failed attempt at top-down, one-size-fits-all, heavy-handed government regulation will only put the brakes on innovation and benefit companies with political influence rather than companies that provide what consumers want. We don't need the federal government to "fix" what isn't broken — I urge you to reject the proposed rule.
Sincerely,
