• Removing Obsolete and Unworkable Cable Television Rate Rules
  The Commission considered a Report and Order that would promote competition and economic growth by simplifying and streamlining burdensome cable rate regulations, eliminating unnecessary forms and rules, deregulating certain cable equipment and small cable systems, limiting regulation to residential subscribers, and otherwise reducing regulatory burdens. (MB Docket No. 02-144; MM Docket Nos. 92-266, 93-215; CS Docket No. 94-28)
• Streamlining the Engineering Review for Broadband Data 
  The Commission considered a Report and Order that would eliminate the professional engineer certification requirement for the biannual Broadband Data Collection filings under section 1.7004(d) of the Commission’s rules and instead allow the biannual filings to be certified by a qualified engineer that has relevant minimum experience and education. (WC Docket Nos. 19-195, 11-10)
• Modernizing TTY Rules for Individuals with Hearing and Speech Disabilities
  The Commission considered a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposing to delete a provision in its rules that requires telecommunications relay services providers to support the now obsolete ASCII transmission format. (CG Docket No. 03-123, RM-11931)
