The American Cable Association (ACA) supported passage of the Rural Utilities Service (RUS) Broadband Loan Program provisions in both the Farm Nutrition, and Bioenergy Act of 2007 (H.R. 2419) and the Senate Farm Bill. The ACA advocated for the Television Freedom Act of 2007 (H.R. 2821) which expands consumer access to in-state broadcast stations. The Association spoke with Members about the FCC's ban on integrated set-top boxes and its negative impact on consumer prices. The ACA urged for greater oversight over retransmission consent practices and the harms it causes consumers. please see addendum
