The FCC should deny New Jersey Bell's video dialtone application. (National Cable Television Association comments filed before Federal Communications Commission) (Brief Article)

Broadcasting & Cable, October, 1993

The FCC should deny New Jersey Bell's video dialtone application because the company has not provided answers to specific questions from the FCC, according to the National Cable Television Association. The NCTA, in comments filed with the FCC, also said it believes that the Bell Atlantic unit "does not plan to provide non-discriminatory access to its video dialtone platform." The New Jersey Cable Television Association echoed NCTA, accusing New Jersey Bell of intentionally withholding information to hide its plans.

New Jersey Bell is seeking commission approval to set up two fiber optic networks (capable of carrying interactive and cablelike services) in Dover Township and the boroughs of Florham Park, Madison and Chatham.
