FCC asked to probe AT&T treatment of public access channels
Mon, Feb 2nd, 2009
PEG channels-public, educational, and government programming that generally takes the form of city council meetings and plays from the local middle school-are being treated as second-class citizens on AT&T's new U-Verse IPTV system, according to a new complaint to the FCC. Anger over AT&T's PEG handling has been buildling for some at the local level, but late last week it went national.
The FCC is now being asked to step in where state regulators so far have not to "rule in no uncertain terms" that the U-Verse PEG situation is "in violation of the Act and Commission rules and policies."
Have different ideas? Please tell us.
