CDT Urges FCC to Protect Internet Uses in TiVo Broadcast Flag Decision - A new CDT paper urges the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to approve secure Internet technologies under its broadcast content protection rules. The FCC is deciding which technologies will be permitted to access digital TV programs, and is reviewing a system--opposed by some content companies--that would allow a TiVo user to watch recorded shows on up to 9 different TiVo devices they register. At stake is whether the FCC will stand by its commitment to allow secure Internet uses under the new rules. July 26, 2004
