  • 12:58 PM The FCC is exploring whether online video sites such as Hulu and YouTube (GOOG) should be governed by the same rules as traditional pay-TV providers. Any move in this direction could have huge implications, potentially giving video sites the right to carry channels content owners have been unwilling to license (and thus representing major new competition for traditional providers), while also requiring them to carry less popular content.

  • 11:11 AM Disney (DIS -0.8%) CEO Robert Iger says the firm will pull the plug on programming if Dish Network's (DISH -1.0%) commercial-skipping service takes off as he dangles Dancing with the Stars as a potential high-profile casualty. While it's very early in the fight, the question of the survivability of commercial-laced TV programming has to be raised with the coming onslaught of original programming from players such as NetFlix, Amazon, Yahoo, Google, Hulu, and others that go lighter on the ads.

  • Tuesday 1:17 PM As Dish Network (DISH) tells the FCC to wait until at least 2016 for a 4G network launch, MetroPCS (PCS) and T-Mobile (DTEGY.PK) are calling for the agency to require Dish to sell half of its 40 MHz. of spectrum. Like others, the carriers think Dish will try to sell some or all of its spectrum to Verizon Wireless (VZ, VOD and/or AT&T (T), thereby putting smaller rivals at a disadvantage.

  • Friday 2:35 PM Dish Networks (DISH -2.1%) tells the FCC it won't be able to launch a 4G LTE network until 2016 or later - 12 months longer than the FCC proposes. Dish's filing could add to the pressure it's facing to sell the spectrum, or at least partner with a major carrier. It might also be another sign the satellite provider is bluffing about its 4G investment plans.
