In another 3-2 vote along party lines, the FCC voted on Dec. 14 to eliminate most network neutrality rules, reclassify ISPs, wired and wireless, as non-common carriers and deed most of the internet policing functions to the Federal Trade Commission or Justice Department.

Deregulation proposals that were hinted at from FCC Chairman Ajit Pai on Oct. 25 will be made official Thursday, Oct. 26.

After a four-year freeze, the FCC has announced that it will lift the sanction on making major modifications to TV stations’ coverage areas.

FCC Chairman Ajit Pai has officially issued the roll back of Title II classification of internet access providers.

The cloud continues to present new opportunities on both the production and distribution end for broadcasters, but challenges remain even as interest and adoption continues.
