Internet Providers Look to Give BDS Plan the Business: Data-service rules could be next docket item to bite the dust

摘要

THE FCC'S attempt under then-chairman Tom Wheeler to revise its business broadband rules to potentially regulate cable-provided services -if necessary-could be the next casualty of a new chairman with a whole different view. Ajit Pai, the FCC's new Republican chairman, took the business data services (BDS) item-among those items that he circulates for a vote outside of a public meeting-out of circulation on Jan. 25 for "further review." And according to a cable source and backed up by some recent comments, Pai is being pushed to close the docket entirely.
