EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE COMMENTS ON THE USE OF EXCLUSIVE CONTRACTS 
FOR THE PROVISION OF VIDEO SERVICES TO MULTIPLE DWELLING UNITS 
MM Docket No. 07-51
Revised date for filing Comments: July 2, 2007
Revised date for filing Reply Comments: August 1, 2007
On March 27, 2007, the Commission released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comment on the 
use of exclusive contracts for the provision of video services to multiple dwelling units or other real estate 
developments.1 Comments in response to the NPRM were originally due to be filed June 18, 2007, and 
reply comments were originally due to be filed July 18, 2007.
On June 8, 2007, the Real Access Alliance (“RAA”), by its counsel, filed a motion for extension of time 
to file comments in response to the NPRM.2  RAA states that to provide useful answers to the questions 
raised by the Commission it would like to analyze the Commission’s recent Inside Wiring Order, an item 
which was recently adopted, but had not been released at the time that RAA filed its extension request.3  
RAA argues that the subject matter of the Order bears on the issues raised in the pending NPRM, and that 
the Commission would benefit by a more complete record in the comments to the pending NPRM, if 
parties are able to evaluate the text of the Inside Wiring Order.  According to RAA, extending the 
comment and reply comment due dates by two weeks would give RAA and others the opportunity to 
analyze the Order.
As set forth in Section 1.46 of the Commission’s rules,4 it is the Commission’s policy that extensions of 
time for filing comments in rulemaking proceedings shall not be routinely granted.  However, in view of 
the circumstances outlined by RAA as well as the short duration of the requested extension, we believe
that a short extension of the comment and reply comment periods in this proceeding is warranted to 
facilitate the development of a complete record.  This extension will allow parties additional time to

Accordingly, were hereby grant RAA’s Motion for Extension of Time in this proceeding to the extent
