FCC Asks 6th Circuit to Keep Cable Leased Access Appeal on Hold

For now, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals should keep in abeyance NCTA's appeal of the FCC's 2008 cable leased access order pending the agency completing a rulemaking that contemplates vacating the order, the agency said in a docket 08-3369 status report (in Pacer) filed Monday. It said if the FCC decides to vacate the NCTA-challenged order, the case will become moot. Commissioners in June adopted a Further NPRM proposing to vacate the order (see 1806070021).
