[Electronics-talk] Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act (was: Issues with Cox remote top boxes)

Tue Jan 24 23:46:18 UTC 2012

I don't think the bill is off topic for the list, but it was dragging
that thread into the weeds.

I think this is the bill you're talking about.  From what I can see here...

http://transition.fcc.gov/cgb/dro/cvaa.html

the bill was signed in 2010, and is still in comment gathering stage
before rules are written.  All this has to be done before anything
real change can happen.
