At NCTA’s request, FCC said it would postpone deadline for reply comments on cable horizontal and vertical ownership rules. Comment and reply deadlines for rulemaking already had been delayed once because of holiday conflicts. Latest deadline date is Feb. 19, deferred from Feb. 4. NCTA had complained to FCC that it needed at least 2 more weeks to prepare economic analyses that could respond to initial round of comments. Commission said it agreed to delay “in the interest of developing a full and complete record and in the interest of not prejudicing any party.”
