NCTA's Pres. McSlarrow Warns Cable Against Further FCC Involvement
[SOURCE: MediaWeek 12/8, AUTHOR: Anthony Crupi]

National Cable & Telecommunications Association President Kyle  
McSlarrow offered an unambiguous assessment of where the industry  
stands in the face of heightened federal regulations, telling a group  
of investors and analysts in New York Thursday morning, "If you let  
the government in now, ten years from now you're going to be  
screwed." "A la carte is just such an extreme, Big Government  
micromanagement of the public sector," McSlarrow said. Rather than go  
down that path, McSlarrow said he believes that cable's menu of  
parental controls options should continue to be pushed by operators,  
an idea that has found favor with Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska).
