FCC Scraps BDS, Mobile Fund, Roaming, Video Description Items From Thursday's Commissioner Meeting

The FCC on Wednesday deleted all four major agenda items from Thursday's commissioner meeting. Those items were an order and Further NPRM on business data services, an order on a mobile fund Phase II, an NPRM on mobile roaming obligations and the regulatory classification of Voice over LTE, and a video description order. Also deleted was an Enforcement Bureau consent agenda item. All the items remain on circulation, said a commission notice. A Freedom of Information Act item from the general counsel apparently remains on the agenda.

Republican congressional leaders had asked the FCC to stop action on controversial items, and Commissioner Ajit Pai had said those included all four major agenda items for Thursday's meeting. Others have told us the same, too. The commission didn't immediately comment further.
