Commission Notice of Proposed Rulemaking does not impose a firm cutoff date or mandate 3.0 tuners in new sets

FCC Association warns FCC that additional rules aren't necessary right now

Resolution supports FCC ‘establishing a clear, industry-wide date-certain transition plan for the full deployment of Next Gen TV (ATSC 3.0) as well as a sunset date for ATSC 1.0’

CTA’s opposition to tuner mandates ‘is equivalent to saying … that no new 5G or 6G phone can be sold until every existing 3G user can use the new tech,’ former ONE Media exec argues

‘This is the NAB playbook: if consumers aren’t choosing your tech organically, demand the government make them,’ says CTA CEO Gary Shapiro

At the meeting, NAB officials urged the regulator to act ‘to ensure that broadcasting remains a competitive and meaningful part of the American media landscape’

Broadcasters complained that TV set manufacturers are ‘incentivized’ to oppose ATSC 3.0 tuners because their FAST channels compete with broadcasters for ads and audiences

NEXTGEN TV Broadcaster group responds to last month's FCC meeting with NCTA, CTA and others

Six groups said they had different perspectives but ‘one goal’ in urging the regulator to ‘deny NAB’s requests’

Filing calls NAB’s petition to require 3.0 tuners a ‘heavy-handed and risky government intervention’
