The proposal was introduced in January and was supported by President
Obama and consumer groups. The regulations were the latest move by the
F.C.C. to encourage online video and to bring more attention to the
closed television industry dominated by cable, telecom and satellite
companies.
But the plan had many detractors, including the cable and television
industries, for which the cable box has been a lucrative business. Those
industries began an expensive lobbying battle to defeat the rules over
the last nine months, spending more than $10 million in the last quarter
and hiring dozens of outside lobbyists to protest the plan to lawmakers
and F.C.C. commissioners.
The Copyright Office and dozens of members of Congress also opposed the
plan, raising concerns over copyright infringement and a disruption to
their advertising deals if programs were given to third-party device
makers. Hollywood studios have protested that they would lose control
over their content with the proposal, hurting creators and studios.
