In a somewhat cursory opinion, the DC Circuit struck down the FCC's "Plug and Play" order, which has been in place since 2003. The "encoding rules" this order enacted were designed to prevent subscription TV services from making it difficult for people to use home recording equipment, using copy-protection technologies like Macrovision.

Late Friday, the FCC changed its rules on "basic tier encryption." There's some good and some bad in what the FCC did, but on balance, provided the benefits touted by the cable companies actually materialize, I think the Order is more good than bad. But some background is needed to put this in context.

Public Knowledge filed an amicus brief with the
Central District of California today in Fox
v. Dish, a case that could threaten how consumers record and view
programming in the privacy of their home. While this case is only in the
preliminary injunction stage, these pre-trial stages have become increasingly
important in copyright cases. Consequently, this case has the potential to
upend long-standing fair use principles.
The case involves DISH’s “Hopper,” one of DISH’s set-top boxes. The Hopper can
be set (by the customer) to record prime-time television on any of the four
major broadcast channels. For some programming, the Hopper gives viewers the
option to play back the programming without commercials beginning the following
day.

The Wall Street Journal has run two recent reports that describe Apple's plan to roll out a cable set-top box. There have been rumors about this for years. Back in 2007, Steve Jobs showed a level of familiarity with obscure cable technology that would suggest that Apple engineers were looking into this kind of product back then. But Jobs was repelled by the janky technology, and instead, Apple introduced a pure streaming device--the AppleTV--that did not interact with cable TV content. But most of the most valuable content is still available only on cable, or on cable first. Lots of people seem to love the AppleTV, but there's a reason why Apple still describes it as a "hobby."

The Elevator Pitch
What's wrong with TV? The shows themselves are better than ever, but the way that viewers watch and pay for TV is stuck in the past. To fix this, policymakers should take steps to increase competition in program distribution. After a few policy changes online video services should be able to compete head-to-head with cable and satellite TV, and this increased competition will allow TV to catch up with the innovation that has marked mobile devices, consumer electronics, and broadband Internet services over the past several years. In particular:
Michael Powell, former Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and now the head of the National Cable Telecommunications Association (NCTA), professes confusion and consternation at our raising the alarm about Comcast’s decision to exempt its Xfinity app for the XBox360 from its 250 GB bandwidth cap. Rather than addressing the issue, Powell basically argues that the only reason PK (or anyone else) could possibly see anything here to worry about is because we're either crazy alarmists or because we are "trying to get another bite at the regulatory apple." In sports, we refer to this kind of behavior as 'working the ref.'
