CableLabs added as members companies outside the U.S., as the cable industry’s research and development consortium has expanded membership to Asian and European operators (CD Sept 24 p20). Grupo Televisa of Mexico City, France’s Numericable and Taiwan Broadband Communications are among those joining, said a Department of Justice Antitrust Division notice in Tuesday’s Federal Register (http://1.usa.gov/1gnAZcY). CableLabs made the notification to extend 1993 National Cooperative Research and Production Act limits on recovery of antitrust plaintiffs to actual damages, said the notice. “Membership in this group research project remains open."
