FCC Shouldn't Require Filings on HD Carriage Progress, Says WTA

The compromise replacement for the HD carriage exemption proposed by the American Cable Association and NAB (see 1505280054) doesn't require carriers using the exemption to submit filings to the FCC on their progress toward being able to retransmit HD signals, WTA said in a filing posted Wednesday in docket 98-120. The FCC shouldn't do so either, said WTA, which supports the compromise plan.
