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 …


Cable Traffic And The First Amendment Must-Carry Under A Diversity Approach And Antitrust As Possible Alternative, Bruno Vandermeulen Jan 1989

Cable Traffic And The First Amendment Must-Carry Under A Diversity Approach And Antitrust As Possible Alternative, Bruno Vandermeulen

LLM Theses and Essays

Recent technological progress in the field of telecommunications has greatly changed the competitive structure between broadcasters, cable operators, and telephone companies. The legal and economic environment for these media participants has shifted, and new problems have arisen. One major problem is the enhanced threat of concentration of media corporations, as corporate bigness becomes desirable and the number of diversified owners of media outlets continues to decrease. This paper analyzes broadcasting regulations and subsequent case law to show the concern by the legislature and regulatory agencies to preserve diversity in opinion and media-ownership through emphasis on “localism” and a “marketplace of …


Federal And State Roles In Telecommunications: The Effects Of Deregulation, Eli M. Noam May 1983

Federal And State Roles In Telecommunications: The Effects Of Deregulation, Eli M. Noam

Vanderbilt Law Review

During the past decade, federal telecommunications regulatory policy has changed its focus from a goal of universally available and affordable residential service to one of economic efficiency. In changing its regulatory focus, the federal government has indirectly deprived the states of the means to accomplish their goal, which remains one of insuring universally available and affordable residential service. In his Article Professor Noam examines the evolution of the traditional federal-state coregulatory system, contrasts the emerging federal regulatory approach with the states' policies, and discusses the reasons for federal predominance in telecommunications regulation.He argues that the reorientation in federal regulatory policy …
