WTA Files Comments on Video Competition

Today, WTA filed comments with the FCC in response to the Media’ Bureau’s annual inquiry into the status of video competition. WTA reminded the FCC that in addition to the challenges of providing video services in high cost areas, they also have to deal with increased content costs, rising retransmission consent fees and “take it or leave it” contractual obligations such as forced tying and tiering that raise costs for consumers and make it more difficult to provide the options that rural consumers desire.
