Abstract

This IDC Flash looks at the May 6 ruling by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia that the FCC had overstepped its jurisdiction by mandating that manufacturers of consumer electronics (CE) equipment that can receive digital broadcasts integrate technology that recognizes broadcast flags. The court nullified the FCC's decision. This document outlines the likely implications stemming from the decision, which would have affected all integrated digital TVs and other receiving equipment manufactured on or after July 1, 2005.
