Rural Video Providers File Comments on RSN Public Notice

Today OPASTCO, NTCA, WTA, ITTA and RICA filed comments in response to the FCC’s Public Notice regarding Regional Sports Networks.  In their filing, the associations “urge the Commission to acknowledge in its RSN Report that small and mid- sized multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs) continue to encounter significant barriers to obtaining access to must-have RSN programming, and that these barriers impede the ability of these MVPDs to compete in or even enter the video marketplace, which, in turn, impedes broadband adoption and investment.”
