Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler intends to include privacy regulations in his new proposal to unlock set-top boxes. "The cable companies are collecting information on you today, and they have a set of rules they have to live by," Wheeler told The Washington Post. "There are rules for device manufacturers and service providers at both the federal and the state level, and what we're going to do in our rulemaking is say [to new entrants], 'You have to have the same kind of rules that cable companies have.' "
