>      The Federal Communications Commission on Thursday postponed a
>    vote on its highly-anticipated proposal to increase
>    competition in the video "set-top box" market after the
>    chairman of the agency failed to secure the necessary votes to
>    approve the plan.  The delay amounts to a humbling setback for
>    FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, who had made reforming the $20
>    billion set-top box market a centerpiece of his pro-consumer
>    agenda. With 40 days to go before a presidential election that
>    will determine the makeup of the FCC going forward, the fate
>    of the reform measure is now in doubt.
