The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has yet to publish a newly adopted order that apparently exempts some smaller cable operators from dual "must-carry" rules ahead of the February 2009 digital TV transition, but the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) has some "major concerns" about it and how it might "undermine" the high-definition television movement.

"If the cable companies are unwilling to carry this high-definition programming… or the next generation of television content, it undermines the entire process that we've all worked to accomplish," an NAB spokesman argues.
