Public Interest Groups Call for Hearings on 'Broadcast Flag' - CDT joined a coalition of public interest groups and library associations today in urging Congress to hold hearings before considering any legislation that would mandate a "broadcast flag" regime governing devices capable of receiving digital television signals. In a letter sent to the chairmen and ranking members of the Senate and House committees with jurisdiction over the matter, the groups listed several questions that require careful consideration. CDT fears that enacting a flag regime without fully addressing several key issues would pose serious threats to innovation and public discourse. October 06, 2005
