FCC's Deregulation Blocked
Posted by Rebecca Bolin on Thursday, June 24 @ 16:32:47 EDT Telecommunications
The FCC's proposed decreased regulations have been blocked by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. The plan would have lifted restrictions on cross-media ownership or ownership of multiple television stations in one market. The court demanded that the FCC better explain the numbers established for ownership.

FCC's Chairman Powell refers to extensive studies and claims the standard set by the court to defend any bright-line limits is impossible. Commissioner Copps claims the decision shows that the FCC should question its policies and start new research.
