Any potential FCC action on the definition of what constitutes a multichannel video programming distributor would involve “a number of complex issues for the Commission to consider,” said Comcast Executive Vice President David Cohen in a meeting with Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel last week, according to an ex parte filing posted in docket 14-57 Friday (http://bit.ly/ZreoVV). The Media Bureau recently reopened a proceeding on the issue to ex parte filings, and Chairman Tom Wheeler said the matter was something the FCC may be considering (CD Oct 1 p8). Defining online video providers “as MVPDs would confer obligations as well as benefits on these entities,” Cohen said.
