Even as the Internet goes pop, federal policymakers continue to surrender their statutory obligation to regulate communications in the first instance to extralegal nongovernmental organizations comprised of technical experts. The Federal Communications Commission’s conclusion that a major broadband service provider's network management practices were unreasonable is a case in point. There, in the absence of any decisive legislative or even regulatory guidance, the FCC turned principally to the engineering principles on which the Internet Engineering Task Force bases transmission standards: to wit, (1) decentralization, (2) interoperability, and (3) user empowerment. This impulse to defer as a matter of course to …

Extraterritorial Electioneering And The Globalization Of American Elections, Zephyr Teachout
Faculty Scholarship
This Essay explores a fascinating new truth: because of the Internet, governments, corporations, and citizens of other countries can now meaningfully participate in United States elections. They can phone bank, editorialize, and organize in ways that impact a candidate's image, the narrative structure of a campaign, and the mobilization of base support. Foreign governments can bankroll newspapers that will be read by millions of voters. Foreign companies can enlist employees in massive cross-continental email campaigns. Foreign activists can set up offline meetings and organize door-to-door campaigns in central Ohio. They can, in short, influence who wins and who loses. Depending …

An individual's right to privacy in an electronic society has gained international attention as a booming new field. Its birth may roughly be marked to coincide with the birth of the Internet. The flow of information without limit or boundary has raised concerns with the consumer spokespeople in the Western World that personal information about them may flow as easily as general information about Machu Pichu, Keynesian economics, or Harvard College. The fear is that will cause individuals harm, ranging from personal embarrassment to a loss of civil liberties. Therefore, movements are developing to limit this flow of information. The …

The Deregulation Of Commercial Television, Heidi R. Young
Fordham Urban Law Journal
In August 1984, the Federal Communications Commission released the Report and Order in the Matter of the Revision of Programming and Commercialization Policies, Ascertainment Requirements, and Program Log Requirements for Commercial Television Stations, affecting the FCC regulations concerning programming policies, ascertainment requirements, program logging rules and commercialization policies. This Note analyzes these regulatory changes from this Report and Order according the following structure: first, a historical exposition of radio and television regulation in general and of the areas affected by the deregulation in particular; second, an assessment of the changes in the context of the modern television marketplace; and third, …

Electronic Publishing: First Amendment Issues In The Twenty-First Century, Lynn Becker
Fordham Urban Law Journal
In six sections, the author explores regulation of the then-emerging field of tele-communications, including electronic publishing, e-mail, electronic bulletin boards, teletype, and digital banking. Focusing on how the First Amendment applies to claims of defamation and obscenity made in an electronic format, the author proposes a unified regulatory scheme based on existing communications regulation law that will unify telecommunications policy countrywide. The first two sections are devoted to explanation of the then-novel forms of electronic communication and giving the history of the FCC and communications and data regulation in the US. The author describes the distinction between press regulation, broadcast …
Fcc Broadcast Standards For Ascertaining Community Needs, Arthur P. Deluca
Fcc Broadcast Standards For Ascertaining Community Needs, Arthur P. Deluca
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This comment examines: (1) the history of the ascertainment procedures, including the function of the original Primer; (2) the effect of the Renewal Primer amendments on the ascertainment procedures; and (3) the significance of the Bamford cases in light of the treatment of badly-organized groups under prior ascertainment procedures, and in light of the issuance of the Renewal Primer. The comment argues that the Primer's purpose of increasing the responsiveness of a broadcast applicant to the needs of its proposed service area has improved the situation for the more organized significant groups, such as minority groups, but its effectiveness as …
