The FCC isn't snoozing on online video service push
The FCC is considering new regulations for companies looking to offer an over-the-top online video service, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Rules governing OTT services could make it harder for content providers and distributors to carve out smaller deals for programming.
Traditional streamers such as Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX), Hulu (DIS, CMCSA, FOXA), and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) that offer their content on-demand should be outside the regulatory purview of the FCC on the OTT startups.
Dish Network (NASDAQISH), Sony (NYSE:SNE), and Verizon (NYSE:VZ) are the furthest along in the race for a trimmed-down online video package aimed largely at cord-cutters and cord-nevers.
