SEPARATE STATEMENT OF
COMMISSIONER HAROLD W. FURCHTGOTT ROTH


In re: Annual Assessment of the Status of Competition in Markets for the Delivery of Video Programming

I am pleased to join in today's action, the issuance of the Commission's Annual Assessment of the Status of Competition in Markets for the Delivery of Video Programming.

I believe that the report does a fine job of detailing for Congress the current state of competitive affairs in the video delivery industries, as required by section 628(g) of the Communications Act. I wish to make clear that while I therefore support the report generally, I do not endorse the specific legislative proposals, save those based on section 713(f) of the Act, that it contains.
