McDowell Sees FCC Action On Video
By Heather Greenfield, National Journal

National Journal reports that Commissioner Robert McDowell said if Congress fails to clear a telecommunications bill this year, the FCC can play a role under existing law to bring more video competition to the market. "I don't want to underestimate [Senate Commerce Chairman Ted Stevens, R-Alaska]," McDowell said of the bill's author. But he added that there are some things the FCC can do to "clear unnecessary regulatory underbrush." "We can help speed the deployment of video penetration ... and broadband penetration," McDowell said.
