Statement from the Developers Alliance on the FCC’s Set-top Box Proposal
Washington, D.C. — Developers Alliance President and CEO Jake Ward released the following statement in response to the Federal Communications Commission’s latest set-top box proposal.
“Developers are and will continue to create new and innovative ways to deliver content to their users, and the continued growth of every developer driven market should be evidence enough that competition has never been greater. The FCC should focus on collaborative solutions developed together by all stakeholders, including competitors, pay-TV providers, and the content industry — rather than a purely regulatory intervention — to enable competition and innovation in how consumers consume video programming.
“Policymakers, whether at the FCC or elsewhere, should make it a priority to engage with developers before implementing rules and regulations that could damage the products and services they create.”
