The news: A major industry group for TV and internet providers is suing the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to block its new click-to-cancel rule, which cracks down on predatory subscription methods and streamlines account cancellation processes.

• The NCTA–Internet and Television Association argues that the FTC is overstepping its authority and that the rule requires costly, time-consuming system redesigns.
• The NCTA represents cable operators such as Comcast, Cox, and Mediacom and TV programmers such as Disney, Warner Bros., and Paramount.
