Missed Connections: One Failed Attempt To Ease Restrictions On Bell Operating Companies, Jeffrey Walker Dec 1994

Missed Connections: One Failed Attempt To Ease Restrictions On Bell Operating Companies, Jeffrey Walker

Federal Communications Law Journal

The divestiture of AT&T in 1983 began a revolution in telephone service, ending the communications giant's monopoly and sparking industry competition and lower telephone rates for consumers. However, the Modified Final Judgment, the court decision governing the Bell Operating Companies created in the wake of the divestiture, severely limits phone companies' ability to offer diverse communications products and to pursue customers outside their immediate geographic area. More than a decade after the landmark decision to limit AT&T's monopoly, the District Court for the District of Columbia remains the sole regulator of this segment of the communications industry. This Note argues …

Microsoft: A Case Study In International Competitiveness, High Technology, And The Future Of Antitrust Law, Amy C. Page Oct 1994

Microsoft: A Case Study In International Competitiveness, High Technology, And The Future Of Antitrust Law, Amy C. Page

Federal Communications Law Journal

By traditional business standards, Microsoft looked like an ideal target for investigation by the Department of Justice's Antitrust Division: As competitors lined up to allege unfair business practices against Microsoft, about 80 percent of the personal computers in the world used the company's operating system. The Justice Department and Microsoft settled during the summer of 1994, before the case went to trial. This Note argues that by settling, the government acknowledges that traditional antitrust definitions may be counterproductive against companies that are playing the key roles in building the information superhighway. In the high technology industries, where small, innovative companies …

Public Access: Fortifying The Electronic Soapbox, Jason Roberts Oct 1994

Public Access: Fortifying The Electronic Soapbox, Jason Roberts

Federal Communications Law Journal

Public access, viewed as the voice on cable for those outside the mainstream, has recently been criticized as nothing more than an unregulated channel for objectionable hate speech and indecent programming. When Congress passed the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992, cable operators found themselves in the conflicting role of being liable for indecent and obscene programming on public access, while at the same time unable to exercise any editorial control over access content. All sides are now waiting to see if the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit will strike down these access rules as …

Preemption Of Local Regulation Of Radio Antennas: A Post- Deerfield Policy For The Fcc, James R. Hobson, Jeffrey O. Moreno Jun 1994

Preemption Of Local Regulation Of Radio Antennas: A Post- Deerfield Policy For The Fcc, James R. Hobson, Jeffrey O. Moreno

Federal Communications Law Journal

The proliferation of novel radio delivery systems has resulted in the construction of new forms of radio antennas. Many localities have placed restrictions on the size and/or placement of these antennas, significantly hindering or blocking signal reception. Because the FCC has adopted rules that only partially preempt local regulations, municipalities have enacted laws restricting the use of home satellite dishes. A recent challenge to one such regulation resulted in a Second Circuit decision limiting the scope of FCC review of local regulations. The Authors suggest that the FCC need not take extreme measures such as total preemption or national zoning …

The Children's Hour Revisited: The Children's Television Act Of 1990, Diane Aden Hayes Mar 1994

The Children's Hour Revisited: The Children's Television Act Of 1990, Diane Aden Hayes

Federal Communications Law Journal

The Children's Television Act of 1990 was created to reduce advertising during children's programming and increase the number of educational programs for children. But by 1993 media watchers found that violations were frequent, and that what was purported to be educational television was often little more than cartoons. This Note argues that the apparent failure of the Act stems primarily from its vague standards. To correct these problems, more explicit regulations are necessary. Because new regulations can only go so far before they invade broadcasters' First Amendment rights, broadcasters and the FCC will have to compromise to create a workable …

Analysis Of The Technical And Economic Issues Raised In The Consideration Of International Telecommunications Satellite Systems Separate From Intelsat, Chris Rourk Mar 1994

Analysis Of The Technical And Economic Issues Raised In The Consideration Of International Telecommunications Satellite Systems Separate From Intelsat, Chris Rourk

Federal Communications Law Journal

INTELSAT has provided the space segment for a global satellite telecommunications network since its inception in 1962. In part due to its economic success, several companies applied to the FCC for licenses to operate international telecommunications satellites separate from INTELSAT. This Comment asserts that INTELSAT did not suffer economic harm from the separate systems because no technological cause or economic reason exits for INTELSAT's high volume routes to subsidize its low volume routes. INTELSAT's pricing structure, its flexibility, and the increasing market for international satellite telecommunications have ensured INTELSAT's continued economic viability in the face of competitors.

Criminal Penalties Under The Sherman Act: A Study Of Law And Economics, Kenneth G. Dau-Schmidt, Joseph Gallo, Charles Parker, Joseph Craycraft

Articles by Maurer Faculty

This paper presents an empirical analysis of criminal antitrust prosecutions undertaken by the Department of Justice during the period 1955-1993. The authors report data on the number of criminal cases, the type of offense alleged, whether the defendants were individuals or firms, the position individual defendants held in their firm, the Department of Justice's won/lost record and the nature and amount of any sanctions imposed. A brief discussion of whether the reported sanctions have been adequate to promote efficient deterrence is also presented.
