WASHINGTON Federal regulators late Thursday denied SBC’s request to exempt new services including high-speed video from traditional telephone regulations.
On a 4-to-0 vote, the Federal Communica-
tions Commission decided it could not grant SBC’s request “because it asks us to forbear from requirements that may not even apply.”
FCC chairman Kevin Martin held the door open to future regulatory relief. “We should move forward to address the creation of a level-playing field” for all providers of Internet-protocol services including telephone and high-speed video, Martin said in a statement.
