2 New Tivo FCC filings (re: Charter / Verizon equipment waivers)

[dt_dc]

Two new Tivo FCC filings ...

Background: Charter (and, in effect, the entire cable industry) is petitioning the FCC for a waiver from the integrated security ban for certain "low-cost, limited capability boxes". Verizon is also applying for a waiver for all their boxes (as a "new entrant").

Tivo is opposing both these petitions.

...no surprise here.

<dramatic music>
Will the cable companies find another loophole?
Will the consumers again be locked in with no choice?
Will the FCC cave in to special interest groups' demands?
...Again?
