According to multiple sources, the FCC is working on an item that would define an online video provider (OVD) that delivers a linear stream of programming as an MVPD, similar to a cable or satellite operator. That means it would have access to content through the FCC's program access rules, but also have to negotiate retransmission-consent with broadcasters.

The idea is that over-the top providers would have an FCC-enforced access to vertically integrated programming.
