FCC Extends Comment Dates in Proceeding Looking to Regulate Online Video Under MVPD Rules

The FCC yesterday released a public notice extending the comment dates in their proceeding to regulate Online (or “over-the-top”) Video, particularly Internet video providers who provide multiple channels of linear video programming (programming streamed at the same time to all viewers, as opposed to on-demand video like that provided by Netflix or Amazon), in the same way that they regulate MVPDs (multichannel video programming distributors like cable and satellite TV).  We wrote here about many of the issues that are being discussed in this proceeding.  The new comment date is March 3, and the new date for reply comments is March 18.
