POWELL DISSENTING IN PART ааг ‚X гФ ФRe:ССУУCommercial Availability of Navigation Devices, CS Docket No. 97Љ80ФФ ССAlthough I support most aspects of this decision on reconsideration of our Report and Order on Commercial Availability of Navigational Devices, I dissent from Section B of this decision. I continue to disagree with the assumption that this agency must prevent multichannel video providers (MVPDs) from offering setЉtop boxes that integrate security with other functions in a setЉtop box (as opposed to a separable Р Рpoint of deploymentРР or Р РPODРР element) in order to Р Рassure commercial availabilityРР of setЉtop boxes. ССAs I explained in my dissent to the Report and Order, I do not find this level of market engineering necessary to fulfill the goal of Section 629 nor do I find it to be sound public policy. I will not repeat the discussion in my prior statement, but only note the following: а мм` м авŒЗ 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 џџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџŒвааџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџ` Œ ф <”ьDœєLЄќ!џџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџА` ааг ‚дў гб#Xrє\  P QXP#бййи€иССб#XNє\  P XP#бSection 629 did not direct the FCC to incent consumers to go out to buy setЉtop boxes. The mission here was to make sure that boxes were available and that consumers had a choice. We accomplished that objective by ensuring that manufacturers have the ability to produce boxes that can be easily used with the video system, much as phones can easily be used with the existing network. It goes well beyond the statutory objective to decide that governmentРРs role is not merely to assure availability but also success for manufacturers and retailers. а ` ммм аааџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџм4Œ ф <”ьDœєLЄќ!џџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџАмаа а мм` м аааџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџ` Œ ф <”ьDœєLЄќ!џџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџА` ааг ‚дў гб#Xrє\  PQXP#би€иССб#XNє\  PXP#бThe decision to prohibit integrated boxes may deter innovation.

It would be more practical to allow operators to deploy integrated boxes that may well be less costly and provide greater security for the system. The benefits of allowing operators to use such equipment would redound to consumers, giving them more equipment options at potentially lower prices. г ‚дў гвŒЗ 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Œвааџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџ` Œ ф <”ьDœєLЄќ!џџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџА` ааб#Xrє\  PQXP#би€иССб#XNє\  PXP#бFinally, I note that the ban is likely to skew present business decisions of operators about when they should buy new setЉtop boxes, how many they should buy and what plans they should make for deploying digital technology. еиШааџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџXА` И hРpШ xа (#€%и'0*ˆ,р.813ш5@8˜:№
