Default Telephone Companies in USA can now provide cable services

The FCC has approved new rules which would make it easier for the telecom companies in the United States to enter the cable television market.

The ruling was supported by three Republican commissioners but faced opposition from two Democrats commissioners.

This ruling is good news for major telecom companies in the region including Verizon Communications and AT&T. both of these companies have spent a fortune on deploying fiber optic cable networks in their respective territories.

FCC Chairman Kevin Martin spoke on this ruling: “As new providers began actively seeking entry into video markets. We began to hear that some local authorities were making the process of getting franchises unreasonable difficult.”

Commissioner Michael Copps opposed the ruling saying: “Right now this nation is hobbled because it has no such strategy, no plan for the infrastructure build-out our people need to be productive and competitive citizens of the world.”

He said that the country needs to establish a national strategy to provide nationwide broadband.
