Edge video providers like Netflix are the source of “persistent congestion” that leads to buffering and fuzzy HD pictures, said NCTA in a blog post Wednesday (http://bit.ly/1qwno4N). Although failure in home networks, ISPs and interconnection points like a content delivery network can also cause congestion, three reports released last week suggest the edge provider is most often at fault, NCTA said. The FCC 2014 Measuring Broadband America report (http://fcc.us/UOiwxo) (CD June 19 p7) “found that, on average, almost all ISPs are meeting or beating advertised speeds,” NCTA said. A Massachusetts Institute of Technology preliminary report (http://bit.ly/1o3xJnS) (CD June 19 p9) measuring Internet congestion found no “widespread congestion among the U.S. providers at their interconnection points in the core of the network,” NCTA said. A third report, from NetForecast, found that Netflix’s analysis of ISP performance included factors ISPs did not control, NCTA said. “Things like choices made by the end-user, available capacity or performance of the Netflix servers.” With the reports eliminating other factors, and assuming that most home networks perform correctly, the reports show that companies like Netflix are responsible for congestion that affects video streaming, NCTA said.

Broadcasters won their case against streaming TV service Aereo in the Supreme Court Wednesday, in a 6 to 3 decision (http://1.usa.gov/1lbK8Si). That makes it very difficult for Aereo to continue operating, several broadcast and copyright attorneys told us. Justice Stephen Breyer wrote the majority opinion, ruling that despite Aereo’s unique technology, the company’s end product was little different from that of a cable company and should be subject to laws intended to impose copyright restrictions on cable companies. Oral argument was in April (CD April 23 p1).
The Commerce Department is letting South Korean industry off the hook with its decision in February to not suspend liquidation or impose antidumping duty cash deposit requirements on South Korean oil country tubular goods, said industry witnesses and Democratic lawmakers at a June 25 Senate Finance Committee hearing on trade enforcement in U.S. trade policy. South Korean firms did not dump the steel products, typically used for ocean and land energy extraction projects, said Commerce in a preliminary ruling (see 14061921). Lawmakers on Capitol Hill have roundly rejected the Commerce decision over recent months, saying egregious dumping is damaging U.S. industry (see 14061921).
