NATOA Files Appellate Brief
In a brief filed July 18, NATOA, along with NLC, NACo, USCM, ACM, and ACD urged the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit to overturn the FCC’s video franchising Order. The coalition asserts that the FCC had no statutory authority, acted in an arbitrary and capricious manner, and violated public notice requirements when it issued its Order.
