[Sean McLaughlin]

New York Times reports:

"A federal appeals court on Friday upheld the Federal Communications 
Commission 
<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/f/federal_communications_commission/index.html?inline=nyt-org>'s 
authority to set rules meant to make it easier for new cable television 
competitors to gain local franchises."

"Plaintiffs' lawyers were studying the opinion and there was no 
immediate word on whether they would appeal. They could ask for review 
by the full appeals court or go to the Supreme Court
