Mediacom urged FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn to take a fresh look at its filings in the retransmission consent proceeding. Mediacom has “demonstrated persuasively that the commission not only has the authority to update its retransmission consent rules, but the obligation to do so,” it said in an ex parte filing in several dockets including 10-71 and 07-18 (http://bit.ly/1l1ZScp). Net neutrality regulation proponents seek to prevent Mediacom from asking edge providers “to share a fair portion of Mediacom’s burden in operating and upgrading its facilities to handle the volume of traffic created by those edge providers,” it said. The filing pertains to a meeting with Clyburn and Adonis Hoffman, Clyburn’s chief of staff.
