IPTV Providers To Pay Same Regulatory Fees As Cable Companies

from the fcc-also-plans-to-bleep-all-swear-words-on-the-internet dept.
An anonymous reader writesThe FCC is looking to put regulatory fees on a per-subscriber basis for IPTV providers. 'We will assess regulatory fees on Internet Protocol TV (IPTV) licensees and we will create a new fee category that will include both cable television and IPTV,' says the report. What services they consider IPTV is yet to be seen; they call it simply 'digital television delivered through a high speed Internet connection.' We can only hope it doesn't affect too many internet video sites.
