Officials from Cablevision met with Media Bureau Chief Bill Lake, staff

Officials from Cablevision met with FCC Media Bureau Chief Bill Lake and staff from the Media Bureau and Office of General Counsel last week to discuss the “upcoming Notice of Proposed Rulemaking” on the definition of a multichannel video programming distributor, according to an ex parte filing posted online Monday (http://bit.ly/1onctgP). FCC personnel have said such an item is only in the conceptual stages (see 1410010053), though a speech by General Counsel Jonathan Sallet last week also referred to a possible rule change (see 1410170039).
