The 2010 Supplement for Telecommunications Law and Policy, Second Edition includes substantial updates, reflecting a busy year and accelerating action at the FCC and elsewhere on a variety of fronts, including:

• Focused excerpts from the FCC's National Broadband Plan, released March 2010, integrated into the text's treatment of the broader, related issues.
• The D.C. Circuit's decision in Comcast v. FCC, in which the Court rejected the FCC's assertion of ancillary jurisdiction to regulate the Internet services there at issue.
• The FCC's initial response to the D.C. Circuit's decision in Comcast v. FCC: its proposal to “reclassify” Internet access service as a Title-II common carrier service in order to re-assert its regulatory jurisdiction.
• The D.C. Circuit's decision on cable concentration limits.
• The D.C. Circuit's decision on FCC limits on exclusive service contracts for multiple dwelling unit buildings.
• The D.C. Circuit's decision on the FCC's interim cap on certain universal service payments.
• The FCC's decision to apply program access rules to even those cable programs delivered by terrestrial transmission (i.e., the “closing of the terrestrial loophole”).
• Several other adjustments (additions and deletions) to reflect changes in the past year.

As always, the authors supply questions or comments, and the primary materials are edited for focus, readability, and context with the other materials.
