Cable modem maker Zoom Telephonics has filed a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission charging that Comcast has subjected the firm to a battery of "unreasonable, irrelevant, time-consuming, and costly requirements" that will block the availability of its modems at the retail level, pushing subscribers to rent or lease modems from Comcast instead.
"Comcast's new testing regime, as well as its arbitrary refusal to test certain new cable modems, therefore threatens all of the benefits associated with a competitive retail market for devices such as cable modems," Zoom's filing with the FCC insists. And given Comcast's huge share of the cable market, if the ISP giant prevails, Zoom will likely abandon any efforts to introduce new modems to the US.
Thus "consumers will be faced with fewer choices, higher prices, and less innovation," Zoom warns.
