Replies Due Nov. 19 on Charter's Effective Competition Petition, Deemed 'Permit but Disclose'

Replies are due Nov. 19 on Charter Communication's petition for determination of effective competition in Hawaii and Massachusetts based on competition from DirecTV Now, the FCC Media Bureau said in a public notice Tuesday in docket 18-283. It said instead of being treated as a restricted proceeding without ex parte presentations, the agency will treat the proceeding as "permit-but-disclose" due to it potentially having effects beyond the specific Charter matter.
