In an interview for C-SPAN’s Communicators, Clyburn hearkened back to the AllVid proceedings that looked at options for content coming into the home and said what the chairman had observed was that “99% of us who have pay television have a set-top that we rent.” But she also said the AllVid proceeding was about choosing a platform and a technology, but that this proposal was not. Instead, she said, it would “allow the ecosystem to weigh in and set its own standards and, ideally, people will have more options at the end of the day.”
