That's NCTA's claim, and we should consider their side, but maybe we shouldn't take it all at face value?

- tptacek 3y agoWe can take what they're objecting to at face value, because they're the ones objecting. So when I say that NCTA is objecting only to pass-through fees, I feel like I'm on pretty firm ground, because they have not objected to other labeling requirements.
- wolverine876 3y agoI'm not saying we should ignore NCTA's public statements, but I'm sure you know that parties who are sophisticated public communicators will object to the thing they are most likely to win on, and which will gain them the most support, rather than the thing they care about most. It happens all the time in public discourse, in politics and in business. Thinking about it, that of course is fundamental to sophisticated negotiations - not revealing your true objectives. And thinking more, people use that same tactic instinctively all the time in social situations.
- tptacek 3y agoThis doesn't make sense. They've conceded the rest of the issues, and were asking for a concession exclusively on this issue. You should read NCTA's filing.
