CDT Report Highlights Concerns About Broadcast Flag Regime - In a new report, CDT closely examines the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proceedings under its short-lived "broadcast flag" regime in order to draw lessons for the current policy debate. Although a federal court rejected the FCC's broadcast flag rules, Congress is now under pressure to reinstate that regime. CDT's report highlights the ways in which the FCC's process led technology companies to withdraw valuable product features under pressure from third parties, confirming that the flag regime carries risks to innovation and consumer uses of digital television. CDT is circulating its latest report, as well as a newly revised report outlining the types of safeguards that would be essential in any flag legislation, to key members of Congress.
