The Washington-based Coalition of Service Industries wrote to Singapore’s MDA expressing concern over “mischaracterization” of US FCC policy on exclusive TV content. Far from being a precedent for MDA’s cross-carriage system, the Coalition wrote, “U.S. policy for television programming is not to tell those who create and distribute content with whom they should enter into contracts, or what the terms and conditions of those contracts should be – including exclusivity.” The Coalition urged Singapore to reconsider cross-carriage, which it said was “an overly broad move that would limit the rights of all content owners to contract for the supply of their products in the manner of their choosing.” The Coalition posted the letter on their website, and it can be downloaded here.
