NATOA Seeks Judicial Stay of FCC Franchising Order
NATOA and other national local government and nonprofit organizations have asked the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit to block the implementation of the FCC’s franchising rules. A Motion for Stay was filed on June 20, 2007, asserting, among other things, that the Order would force local franchising decisions without the opportunity to ensure the interests of the public, including safety concerns, are met.
