Nearly seven months after commissioners voted to ask cable operators for subscriber data (CD Special Bulletin Nov 28 p1), the FCC hasn’t requested the information. Nor have FCC members heard how the agency will proceed, said FCC and industry officials. On Nov. 27, bowing to colleagues, FCC Chairman Kevin Martin agreed to ask cable operators to report on whether they meet the so-called 70/70 subscriber threshold.

If cable is determined to pass 70 percent of U.S. homes, and 70 percent of those homes subscribe, further agency regulation of the industry would be possible. Commissioners agreed to make a direct request to cable operators for the data.
