FCC suspends deadline for AT&T cable sale

Article Abstract:

AT and T Corp has received a reprieve after a court ruling rescinded regulations barring a cable company from having more than 30% share in the US market. The ruling effectively stopped regulatory requirements that would have forced the company to sell cable assets by May 19, 2001. In addition, the Federal Communications Commission suspended the deadline pending further review.
