By the Chief, Media Bureau:
1. On January 16, 2009, the Commission released its 13th Annual Report to Congress on the 
status of competition in the market for the delivery of video programming.1 The Report provided 
information as of 2006.  On the same date, the Commission released a Notice of Inquiry (“NOI”) 
soliciting 2007 data for the 14th Annual Report.2 The NOI initially set a deadline of February 27, 2009 for 
comments, and March 28, 2009 for reply comments.
2. On February 23, 2009, the Commission issued an extension of time to file comments and 
reply comments for 2007 data.3 As described in the extension, comments in response to the NOI seeking 
information as of June 30, 2007, are due on April 28, 2009, and reply comments are due on May 28, 
2009. We noted that the establishment of a single set of filing deadlines for 2007 and 2008 data will avoid 
duplication of effort by commenters and will streamline Commission review of the submitted 
information, thereby conserving commenters’ and Commission resources.
3. As described in the Supplemental Notice of Inquiry that the Commission adopted today, 
we will release a single report covering the years 2007, 2008, and 2009.  Comments for 2008 data are due 
May 20, 2009, and reply comments are due June 20, 2009.
4. To afford commenters the opportunity to file their 2007 and 2008 information 
concurrently, we are hereby extending the comment periods announced in the Order to coincide with the 
filing deadlines we establish for the 2008 data.  
5. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Sections 4(i), 4(j), 403 and 628(g) of the 
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 154(i), 154(j), 403, and 548(g), and Sections 
0.061, 0.204, 0.283, and 1.46 of the rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.061, 0.204, 0.283, and 1.46, the deadlines for
