CBS' Moonves Lobbies FCC to Avoid Regulations on OTT Services

CBS' over-the-top offerings are intended to serve viewers in broadband-only homes, CBS said in an ex parte filing pertaining to a meeting this week with CBS CEO Leslie Moonves, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler and other commissioners. CBS is working with its affiliates to ensure that the OTT service, All Access, will give online viewers a broadcast-like service, it said. CBS' incentive to continue to produce, acquire and invest in the highest quality content demanded by consumers shouldn't be diminished or stifled by regulations, it said. Commissioners Mike O'Rielly, Ajit Pai and Jessica Rosenworcel also attended the meeting, it said.
