McDowell Sees FCC Action On Video
By Heather Greenfield, National Journal

	National Journal reports that Commissioner Robert McDowell said if  
Congress fails to clear a telecommunications bill this year, the FCC  
can play a role under existing law to bring more video competition to  
the market. "I don't want to underestimate [Senate Commerce Chairman  
Ted Stevens, R-Alaska]," McDowell said of the bill's author. But he  
added that there are some things the FCC can do to "clear unnecessary  
regulatory underbrush." "We can help speed the deployment of video  
penetration ... and broadband penetration," McDowell said.
