FCC Asks SCOTUS for More Time to Respond to Appeal of 6th Circuit Decision

Citing the heavy workload stemming from earlier assigned cases, the FCC is asking the Supreme Court for a Jan. 5 deadline to file a response to an appeal of a 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decision that the Cable Act preempts states and localities from levying cable regulatory fees on non-cable services provided using cable networks (see 2111010048), per a motion Tuesday. The agency's response to the petition for writ of certiorari filed by Eugene and other localities is due Dec. 6.
