Why D.C. real estate developers have their gazes fixed on the FCC

2015-07-22 12:07:13| Telecom - Topix.net

The Federal Communications Commission could soon become one of the hottest tickets in town for D.C. landlords, at a time when developers could surely use a major government agency to anchor their existing and planned office properties in the District. The General Services Administration posted a presolicitation to FedBizOpps.gov Monday seeking up to 473,000 square feet for the FCC, a big requirement developers across Washington such as Akridge, First Potomac Realty Trust and The Wharf partners Hoffman-Madison Waterfront are likely to track for their sites.

FCC set to approve AT&T's DirecTV takeover with conditions

2015-07-22 09:22:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) An order recommending the approval of AT&T's acquisition of DirecTV has been circulated to the FCC commissioners, said chairman Tom Wheeler. The proposed order outlines a number of conditions that will increase competition in the broadband marketplace. If approved by the commissioners, 12.5 million customer locations will have access to a competitive fibre connection. The additional rollout is around ten times the size of AT&T's current FttP deployment and increases the national residential fibre build by over 40 percent. It also triples the number of metro areas AT&T has announced that it plans to serve. In addition, to prevent discrimination against online video competition, AT&T will not be permitted to exclude affiliated video services and content from data caps on its fixed broadband connections. It will also be required to submit all competed interconnection agreements with the FCC, along with regulator reports on network performance. AT&T said it was pleased that the Department of Justice has completed its review of the acquisition and that the FCC order to approve the acquisition was being circulated. The company hopes the order will be approved quickly and expects to close the transaction shortly thereafter.

CTIA: FCC transparency guidelines - irrational'

2015-07-22 02:40:51| Wireless - Topix.net

The wireless industry's chief lobbying group today issued comments on part of the FCC'S Open Internet Order that went into effect last month, saying that provisions requiring better disclosure of network management, performance and pricing figures are unfair and burdensome. CTIA lawyers wrote in an official submission to the FCC that the increased transparency called for in the order would require vastly more effort and money than the commission estimated, and said that the rules should be delayed and their requirements eased.
