STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER MICHAEL O’RIELLY 
ON CIRCULATION OF SET TOP BOX ORDER
WASHINGTON, September 8, 2016. — “I will review this proposal carefully over the 
coming days and weeks, but at the outset it appears to exist within a fantasy world of 
unlimited Commission authority. The Commission is and must remain in the business of 
licensing spectrum and infrastructure, not content.”
