Adopted:  February 20, 2009 Released:  February 23, 2009
Comment Date:  April 28, 2009
Reply Comment Date:  May 28, 2009
By the Commission:
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
2. To fulfill its obligation to report annually on the state of competition in the video 
marketplace,3 the Commission needs to bring its reporting up to date.  Accordingly, the Commission will 
issue a single report covering 2007, 2008, and 2009.  To provide a record for the development of this 
combined report, the Commission will issue a supplemental notice of inquiry in this proceeding, as soon 
as possible, to request information for 2008 and 2009.  The supplemental notice will establish a single 
deadline for the filing of information for 2007 and 2008 and a slightly later deadline for the filing of 
information for 2009.  The establishment of a single set of filing deadlines for 2007 and 2008 will avoid 
duplication of effort by commenters and will streamline Commission review of the submitted 
information, thereby conserving commenters’ and Commission resources.
3. Comments in response to the pending NOI seeking information as of June 30, 2007, are 
due on February 27, 2009, and reply comments are due on March 27, 2009.  To provide time for the 
Commission to solicit additional data and comment pertaining to 2008 and 2009, and to afford 
commenters the opportunity to file their 2007 and 2008 information concurrently, we are hereby 
extending the comment periods announced in the NOI to coincide with the filing deadlines we expect to 
establish for the additional information for 2008.  Comment deadlines for 2009 will be announced when 
the Commission issues its Supplemental NOI.  
4. 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
