NSR Policy: FCC Bulk Billing Order
In this weekend update, we look at an upcoming FCC order that, unlike some more heavily publicized orders, could have a more material impact on our sector. The upcoming order, which proposes to ban bulk billing, is part of a broader Administration effort to constrain fees the Administration regards as unfair or anticompetitive. This issue arises in the context of the FCC, over several decades, evaluating how to create competition in Multiple Tenant Environments (MTEs), but the issues here are different than some practices the FCC has previously banned, as it generally involves some consumer benefits, as with other volume discount arrangements.Charter Communications is a holding company.
