Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., is asking Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler to delay the vote on his proposed set-top box rules, Multichannel News reports.

"[T]his rule will result in MVPDs handing over consumers’ personal information to third-party developers using their own platforms without addressing how that information can be utilized and what recourse consumers have if there is a data breach of third-party developers," said Heller. "This is not technology neutral and not beneficial to consumers. That is why I request that you delay voting on this proposal until these privacy concerns are resolved."
