The FCC yesterday proposed rules that would give television manufacturers until July 1 1998 to put V-Chips in half of new TV sets with monitors 13 inches or larger, and in all sets by July 1, 1999. Reed Hundt said that this will "ensure that V-Chip technology does in fact exist in a relatively short period of time". Industry officials protested that the time limit is way too short for manufacturers, saying they need 18 months - 2 years. Comment period runs until November. Meanwhile, some of the major TV networks are going to a more detailed rating system, Sex/Violence/Language/SuggestiveDialog, with a FantasyViolence category for kids' shows. NBC is resisting that.
