The Year In Economics At The Fcc: A National Plan For Broadband, 2010 Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
The Year In Economics At The Fcc: A National Plan For Broadband, Jonathan Baker, Paul De Sa
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
The past year in economics at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has focused on encouraging the adoption and deployment of high capacity Internet access and the associated networks, commonly termed “broadband.” Our article sketches important economic themes in the FCC’s National Broadband Plan to show how the application of basic principles of regulatory economics takes account of rapid technological change. We discuss natural monopoly regulation, externalities and cross-subsidies, network effects and interconnection, the allocation of scarce inputs, protecting and fostering competitive markets, and consumer protection and transparency as they apply to the development of broadband.

Inducement Or Solicitation? Competing Interpretation Of The "Underlying Illegality" Test In The Wake Of Roommates.Com, 2010 University of Washington School of Law
Inducement Or Solicitation? Competing Interpretation Of The "Underlying Illegality" Test In The Wake Of Roommates.Com, Jeffrey R. Doty
Washington Journal of Law, Technology & Arts
In Fair Housing Council of San Fernando Valley v. Roommates.com, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit held that a Web site operator loses the immunity granted by section 230 of the Communications Decency Act by materially contributing to the alleged illegality of its third-party content. Subsequent case law seems to reflect two different standards for determining when this “underlying illegality” test is satisfied. Most courts have adopted a narrow reading of Roommates.com, denying immunity only when a Web site has explicitly requested illegal content. In NPS LLC v. StubHub, Inc., however, a Massachusetts …

Public Consultations On Net Neutrality 2010: Usa, Eu And France, Sulan Wong, Julio Rojas Mora, Eitan Altman

The evolution of the Internet has come to a point where almost at the same time, governments all around the world feel the need for legislation to regulate the use of the Internet. In preparing the legislation, consultations were called by various governments or by the corresponding regulation bodies. We describe in this paper the various consultations as well as the background related to the Net Neutrality question in each case. Rather than describing the answers to each consultation, which are available and which have already been analyzed, we focus on comparing the consultations and the statistical figures related to …

Destination Ventures, Ltd. V. F.C.C. And Moser V. F.C.C.: How Much Should The Telephone Consumer Protection Act Restrict Your Phone, Fax And Computer?, Michael D. Mcconathy
Golden Gate University Law Review
The Ninth Circuit upheld the constitutionality of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (hereinafter "TCPA") in two February 1995 decisions: Destination Ventures, Ltd. v. F.C.C. and Moser v. F.C.C. Destination Ventures marked the first examination of the TCPA by any United States Court of Appeals. In that case, the Ninth Circuit held that the TCPA ban on unsolicited facsimile (hereinafter "fax") advertising was a constitutional regulation of commercial speech since the provision reasonably fit the government interest in preventing advertisement cost-shifting to the consumer. Five days later, in Moser, the same three-judge panel reversed a district court decision and upheld the …
Free Speech And The Myth Of The Internet As An Unintermediated Experience, 2010 University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School
Free Speech And The Myth Of The Internet As An Unintermediated Experience, Christopher S. Yoo
All Faculty Scholarship
In recent years, a growing number of commentators have raised concerns that the decisions made by Internet intermediaries — including last-mile network providers, search engines, social networking sites, and smartphones — are inhibiting free speech and have called for restrictions on their ability to prioritize or exclude content. Such calls ignore the fact that when mass communications are involved, intermediation helps end users to protect themselves from unwanted content and allows them to sift through the avalanche of desired content that grows ever larger every day. Intermediation also helps solve a number of classic economic problems associated with the Internet. …
An Alternative Proposal To The Fcc's Proposed Amendment: Broadcast Media Concentration Rules, 2010 Golden Gate University School of Law
An Alternative Proposal To The Fcc's Proposed Amendment: Broadcast Media Concentration Rules, David C. King
Golden Gate University Law Review
In September, 1983, the FCC issued for administrative comment a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (hereafter Notice) aimed at amending the Seven Station Rule. The three major reasons cited by the Commission for proposing the amendment were the arbitrariness of the Seven Station Rule, the changed circumstances in the broadcasting industry since 1953, and the harm to diversity caused by the Rule despite its intended purpose. The Notice did not cite a specific alternative to the Rule, but indicated a possible interim amendment in the numerical ceiling to fourteen on-air television stations and thirty-six radio stations (FM and AM combined). …

Australia’S Media Climate:Time To Renegotiate Control, Jane Johnston, Mark Pearson
Jane Johnston
In 2007, Australia was rated by two international media bodies as well down the chain in media freedom. Within its own borders, internal media groups—in particular the Australian Press Council and the Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance, as well as a consortium of major employer groups—have recently released reports investigating the position of media freedoms. This article examines a select few of these shrinking freedoms which range from the passive restrictions on access to documents to the overt threat of imprisonment for publishing sensitive material. In particular, it considers laws relating to freedom of information, camera access to courts, shield …

Selected International Rules Of Foreign Direct Investment In The Telecommunications Sector And Its Influences On Taiwan's Telecommunications Legislation, Chun Hung Lin
Annual Survey of International & Comparative Law
In past decades, the most significant contributor to the booming global economy was the development of cross-border transactions. Specifically, foreign investment has expanded rapidly, becoming an increasingly important factor in host economies and in the international community. Also, foreign direct investment (FDI) has increased rapidly for a substantial period and covering a wide spectrum of industries. Moreover, foreign investment capital generally will spur economic growth and create better living standards in particular countries. Despite the benefits of FDI, many developing countries fear that by opening up their markets to competition and foreign investment without any restrictions, they will lose control …

Network providers are experimenting with a variety of new business arrangements. Some are offering specialized services the guarantee higher levels of quality of service those willing to pay for it. Others are entering into strategic partnerships that allocate more bandwidth to certain sources. Interestingly, a management literature exists suggesting that both developments may simply reflect the ways that the nature of competition and innovation can be expected as markets mature. The real question is not if the nature of competition and innovation will change, but rather when and how. This theory also suggests that policymakers should be careful not to …
