In June 1996, however, the Commission amended its rules to establish a basis for approving such ancillary transmission systems so that licensees may deploy the systems without further authorization. See Report and Order in MM Docket No. 99-42, 11 FCC Rcd 7799 (1996) (amending Sections 73.646 and 73.682 of the rules to permit the transmission of visual telecommunications services by inserting non-video data in the active video portion of the NTSC signal) (the ``Digital Data R&O'').
