NCTA Statement On FCC Adoption Of ""Plug-And-Play"" Agreement

18-Sep-03

Statement of NCTA President and CEO Robert Sachs regarding the FCC's order on the ""plug-and-play"" agreement between the cable and consumer electronics industries:""Todayís action is good for consumers, because it will hasten the day when 'digital cable-ready' television sets will reach the market, making it easier for cable customers to access digital television services such as high-definition television programming without the need for set-top boxes. It also validates the affirmative response of the cable and consumer electronics industries to the encouragement they received from FCC and Congressional leaders who urged the two industries to reach voluntary agreements to resolve DTV transition issues. The FCC's endorsement of these agreements sends a positive signal to all involved in the DTV transition to work together to voluntarily resolve outstanding issues.""For more information about NCTA, visit www.ncta.com.
