TY - JOUR T1 - An economic analysis of earth orbit pollution AN - 1648072491; 4638726 AB - Space debris, an externality generated by expended launch vehicles and damaged satellites, reduces the expected value of space activities by increasing the probability of damaging existing satellites or other space vehicles. Unlike terrestrial pollution, debris created in the production process interacts with firms' final products, and is, moreover, self-propagating: collisions between debris or extant satellites creates additional debris. We construct a formal model to explore private incentives to launch satellites and to mitigate space debris. The model predicts that, relative to the social optimum, firms launch too many satellites and choose technologies which create more debris than is socially optimal. We discuss remediation strategies and policies, and demonstrate that Pigovian taxes can be used to internalize the debris externality.

This paper highlights the economic issues that are addressed in the following key areas: spectrum management, universal service and intercarrier compensation reform, and merger review. In spectrum management, the FCC received congressional authority to implement an 'incentive auction' to repurpose television broadcasting spectrum into flexible-use licenses that will be suitable for mobile wireless service providers. We discuss some important issues in designing the auction. We next address some aspects of the FCC's comprehensive reforms of intercarrier compensation, which mainly involves call termination rates, and of universal service. Finally, we discuss the economic analysis of two major mergers: ATandT-T-Mobile, which the FCC staff recommended should be referred to an administrative hearing, and Level 3/Global Crossing, which was cleared with no conditions.

The estimates indicate that the willingness to pay of consumers is about $4.50 greater for a top ranked app than for the same unranked app. The results also indicate that the effects of bestseller status on willingness to pay decline steeply with rank at the top ranks, but remain economically significant for the apps in the first half of the top 100 list.

High-frequency changes in program scheduling are commonplace in Argentina. This paper uses this variation in program scheduling as an instrumental variable in order to measure the degree of substitution across the programs broadcast by the five network television stations in a large Argentinean market. In line with the results of prior studies, the results of this paper show evidence of substantial business stealing in network television: increases in the ratings of a station primarily decrease the ratings of other stations. However, the estimates also show that the increases in ratings attributable to new viewers entering the market range between 3 and 5 percentage points for each 10-point increase in a channel's viewership. The size of this market expansion effect is significantly larger than that found by prior studies.

I model the behavior of impatient bidders who search for the best auction outcome over time. The model is used to develop estimating equations for the bidders' valuations, and to evaluate the effect of reserve prices on bids and revenue. Using data collected from surplus auctions of personal computer processors, I find economically significant gains from imposing a reserve price. The revenue-maximizing reserve price improves revenue by about 23% for a large subsample of the auctions in the data. Adapted from the source document.

South Korea has consistently been the global leader in broadband deployment since 1999. In the last 10 years, the Korean government has pursued several strategies for its broadband policy. The purpose of this article was to explore South Korea's implementation of its Broadband Convergence Network (BcN) project with special emphasis on its objectives of achieving media convergence, ubiquitous connectivity, and coordination among network stakeholders. The study uses the theoretical framework of institutionalism to identify factors that help explain how the policy agenda for the BcN was implemented. The BcN is Korea's most recent high-speed Internet infrastructure project and is envisioned as a conduit through which broadband services, applications, and content will flow to reflect a robust high-speed Internet infrastructure. This broadband infrastructure project began in 2004 as a consortium that includes the government and private sector firms. This infrastructure was launched as a three-phase project. The first phase of the BcN extended from 2004 through 2005, the second phase extended from 2006 through 2007, and the third phase extended from 2008 through 2010. Adapted from the source document.

In Adarand Construction, Inc. v. Pena, the Supreme Court held that race-based government programs were subject to strict scrutiny. That is race-based programs must serve a compelling governmental interest such as remedying past discrimination, and must be narrowly tailored to serve that interest. Against this backdrop, a simple theoretical model is developed that explains the relationship between capital market discrimination and outcomes in FCC spectrum auctions. Given capital market discrimination and all other factors being equal, it is shown that a minority firm has zero probability of winning in an auction for spectrum. In addition, it is proven that, if equal bidding credits are given to all firms, if there is capital market discrimination, and if all other things are equal, the minority firm has a zero probability of winning in a spectrum auction. It is shown that a policy of auctioning spectrum, when there is capital market discrimination, is an inferior policy among policies that can be used to allocate spectrum. Finally, a policy of auctioning spectrum, when there is capital market discrimination, results in an inefficient auction. These theoretical results and the empirical literature on capital market discrimination suggest that the FCC is implicitly discriminating against minorities through its auctioning of spectrum under conditions of discrimination in capital markets. The results imply that race-based programs are necessary/justified in order to increase diversity in telecommunications ownership and increase the efficiency of FCC Spectrum Auctions. Given possible legal remedies, the paper contains a critical 'audit'/analysis of the FCC's lending practices under the FCC's installment payments. Legislative proposals for creating some new form of credit/installment payment in conjunction with some experienced financial institution(s) are summarized and reviewed.

We show that when unlicensed spectrum is assigned to all competing users during periods of excess demand an inefficient outcome related to the 'Tragedy of the Commons' is likely to result. This inefficiency can be substantially reduced when the assignment of users to unlicensed spectrum is based on the bandwidth and latency tolerance needs of the competing users. Further efficiency gains can also occur when users are required to bid to have their 'unlicensed spectrum' needs met in the presence of congestion. The paper also examines the merits of creating an auction based market in which firms providing spectrum based services to users bid to have their 'spectrum regime' needs satisfied. The objective of this approach is to reduce the incentive that service operators have to misstate their expressed value for a given license regime. The efficiency of this approach is based in large part on the auction mechanism's ability to solve a 'collective action problem' in which firms desiring unlicensed spectrum have an incentive to 'free-ride' on the bidding behavior of other unlicensed firms. Together our results open up the possibility that a wide variety of spectrum policy issues may be efficiently solved using a market-based approach. They further suggest that there may be a 'hybrid' regime that combines the best features of the license and unlicensed regimes and, thus, lead to a more efficient use of spectrum at any moment in time.

(Harris), an independent national marketing research firm, between February and April 2010. The primary goal of the survey was to collect data on the current state of broadband connectivity for E-rate funded schools and libraries and inquire into challenges related to broadband use that recipients face now or will face in the future. This survey will help the Commission make policy decisions for the E-rate program by providing information on the educational and technological needs of schools and libraries. Key findings of this report include: (1) 95% of all E-rate survey respondents have some form of terrestrial broadband connection to at least one facility, while 2% use satellite and 3% use dial-up; (2) However, nearly 80% of all survey respondents say their broadband connections do not fully meet their current needs; (3) 39% of E-rate survey respondents cite cost of service as a barrier in meeting their Internet needs, and 27% cite cost of installation as a barrier; (4) 56% of all E-rate survey respondents expect to implement or expand the use of digital textbooks in the next two to three years, and 45% expect to implement or expand the use of handheld devices for educational purposes; (5) 10% of E-rate survey respondents have broadband speeds of 100 Mbps or greater and most (55%) have broadband speeds greater than 3 Mbps; (6) For schools, e-mail is the most used application (almost all schools, 98%, regularly use or access e-mail), and the most essential (69% consider it the most essential); and (7) For libraries, online reference materials are both the most used application (86% of staff and patrons regularly use or access online reference materials) and the most essential (62% consider it the most essential).

Congress also required that this plan include a detailed strategy for achieving affordability and maximizing use of broadband to advance "consumer welfare, civic participation, public safety and homeland security, community development, health care delivery, energy independence and efficiency, education, employee training, private sector investment, entrepreneurial activity, job creation and economic growth, and other national purposes." To fulfill Congress's mandate, the plan seeks to ensure that the entire broadband ecosystem--networks, devices, content and applications--is healthy. It makes recommendations to the FCC, the Executive Branch, Congress and state and local governments. This report presents the recommendations made to the FCC, the Executive Branch, Congress and state and local governments.

More efficient and intensive use of the nation's spectrum resources would help provide a path to greater broadband deployment, competition and innovation for all consumers. Wireless and mobile technologies hold great promise to offer consumers new services to complement, extend, or even replace existing broadband offerings. A comprehensive review of the nation's spectrum policy is, therefore, necessary to ensure that wireless and mobile broadband services are not hamstrung by outdated rules or command-and-control spectrum allocations. Spectrum reform should include three main components. First, the FCC should focus on understanding how existing spectrum allocations are used currently while ensuring that all existing allocations are made available to providers in a timely manner. Second, the FCC should review its allocation and spectrum sharing rules to promote more efficient spectrum usage. Third, the FCC should ensure its regulatory approach fosters innovative technologies and more efficient uses of spectrum. Adapted from the source document.

AN - 38173017; 2970393 AB - Following the 1984 divestiture of AT&T, local telephone service was provided by several Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs). The RBOCs served as monopoly providers of local telephone service in their respective territories but were prohibited from offering long-distance service to their in-region subscribers. Section 271 of the landmark Telecommunications Act of 1996 allows an RBOC to offer in-region long-distance service if it demonstrates that the local telephone exchange market is open to competitive entry. This study empirically evaluates the efficacy of this policy by considering the impact of RBOC entry into long-distance on the development of competitive entry into local telephony. The results suggest that section 271 has been successful in promoting entry into local telephony. However, aggregate price data suggest that this entry has not been realized with lower rates for residential telephone subscribers.

An issue that has arisen with the adoption of price cap regulation is whether deterioration in service quality for interstate access service has been an unintended consequence. The analysis in this paper uses several different measures of service quality, including the average installation interval, the percent of commitments met, total trouble reports, & the average repair interval for both switched access service & special access service, to investigate empirically whether there has been a decline in service quality between 1991 & 2000. The results are conclusive. Overall service quality has fallen. To rectify the situation, a proposal is offered to adjust the price cap index to penalize LECs that fail to provide an acceptable level of aggregate service quality. 8 Tables, 4 Figures, 39 References.

Here, I present data on the popularity of the most frequent personal given names in the UK over the past millennium. The data show that the popularity of names, like the popularity of other symbols & artifacts associated with the information economy, can be usefully viewed as a power law. The frequency distribution of personal names, graphed as the logarithm of name popularity against the logarithm of name popularity rank, is similar to other popularity distributions where people & organizations are free to create & choose among many collections of symbols used in a similar way. Naming is seen to be representative of more general patterns of behavior in the information economy. Furthermore, the data suggest that historically distinctive changes in the information economy occurred in conjunction with the Industrial Revolution. 3 Tables, 2 Figures, 1 Appendix, 16 References.

Both the direct and indirect effects are calibrated. The analytical approach used consists of a dynamic computable general equilibrium model composed of 14 producing sectors, 10 consuming sectors, seven household categories classified by income, and a government. The results suggest that the impact of a change in productivity is an increase in output over a six year period starting in 1998 in field crops. The most significant impact is felt in the livestock sector. This is because field crops are a major input in the production of livestock. The food processing sector also exhibits a relatively large increase because of the increase in inputs of both field crops and livestock. Manufacturing output increases primarily because overall investment rises and most investment utilizes manufacturing goods. The other producing sectors are generally unaffected by the increase in agricultural production due to an increase in soil organic carbon. Coincident with the increase in the production of field crops is a relatively large decrease in the price of field crops. Other noticeable price reductions occur in the livestock sector and the food processing sector. For the consuming sectors, the consumption of food and alcohol and tobacco increase but consumption in all of the other sectors remains basically unchanged. Prices in the food and alcohol and tobacco sectors decline by about 1% while the prices in the other sectors remain static. Household welfare increases in the aggregate by only 0.1% with this increase occurring uniformly across all household categories. Revenue received by the government increases a modest 2% in response to an increase in output and, hence, an increase in taxes paid. The results indicate that there are significant production benefits for several sectors that can be realized by an increase in the use of conservation practices in agricultural production which, in turn, enhances soil organic carbon. There are a number of policy options available to promote the use of conservation practices. These include education and technical assistance, financial assistance, research and development, land retirement, and regulation and taxes.

This, in turn, will decrease the net emission of carbon dioxide. A number of studies exist that calibrate the contribution of various individual, site-specific conservation practices on changes in soil organic carbon. There is a general absence, however, of a comprehensive effort to measure objectively the contribution of these practices including conservation tillage, the Conservation Reserve Program, and conservation buffer strips to an change in soil organic carbon. This paper fills that void. After recounting the evolution of the use of the various conservation practices, it is estimated that organic carbon in the soil in 1998 in the United States attributable to these practices was about 12.2 million metric tons. By 2008, there will be an increase of about 25%. Given that there is a significant potential for conservation practices to lead to an increase in carbon sequestration, there are a number of policy options that can be pursued.

AN - 77009896; 11281426 AB - Soil erosion has both on-farm and off-farm impacts. Reduction of soil depth can impair the land's productivity, and the transport of sediments can degrade streams, lakes, and estuaries. Since 1933, soil conservation policies have existed in the United States. Originally they focused on the on-farm benefits of keeping soil on the land and increasing net farm income. Beginning in the 1980s, however, policy goals increasingly included reductions in off-site impacts of erosion. As a consequence of conservation efforts associated with explicit U.S. government policies, total soil erosion between 1982 and 1992 was reduced by 32% and the sheet and rill erosion rate fell from an average of 4.1 tons per acre per year in 1982 to 3.1 tons per acre in 1992 while the wind erosion rate fell from an average of 3.3 tons per acre per year to 2.4 tons per acre per year over the same period. Still, soil erosion is imposing substantial social costs. These costs are estimated to be about $37.6 billion annually. To further reduce soil erosion and thereby mitigate its social costs, there are a number of policy options available to induce farmers to adopt conservation practices including education and technical assistance. financial assistance, research and development, land retirement, and regulation and taxes.

That means redesigning government communications, from the ground up, in ways that engage citizens & encourage e-commerce. Local portals could pave the way, but first they must win over Web users from other communications channels. That means attracting the best content, & one way for governments to do that is to set a standard in pricing & marketing their own data. 1 Table. Adapted from the source document.

This, in turn, will decrease the net emission of carbon dioxide. A number of studies exist that calibrate the contribution of various individual, site-specific conservation practices on changes in soil organic carbon. There is a general absence, however, of a comprehensive effort to measure objectively the contribution of these practices including conservation tillage, the Conservation Reserve Program, and conservation buffer strips to change in soil organic carbon. This paper fills that void. After recounting the evolution of the use of the various conservation practices, it is estimated that organic carbon in the soil in 1998 in the United States attributable to these practices was about 12.2 million metric tons. By 2008, there will be an increase of about 25 percent. Given that there is a significant potential for conservation practices to lead to an increase in carbon sequestration, there are a number of policy options that can be pursued.

Further, the evidence that early IPO returns are drawn from a mixture distribution persists for at least four weeks. The implications of these results for the analysis of IPO returns are illustrated by examining the influence of a measure of ex ante price uncertainty on IPO pricing.

AN - 63005529; ED329363 AB - The joint comments of 12 organizations concerned about the current state of children's television programming are presented in this paper. The commentors' requests for action, which are specified in detail, are divided among the following legislative provisions: (1) the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) should make clear that for purposes of the Children's Television Act, children are defined as persons 12 years of age and under; (2) broadcasters are legally required to demonstrate that they have complied with the statutory obligation to present educational and informational programming; (3) the Commission is legally required to limit all commercial matter in order to protect the unique child audience; and (4) the FCC is legally required under the Communications Act and the Children's Television Act to hold broadcast licensees to the highest standard of responsible advertising practices. The Children's Television Act was passed in order to protect the nation's children from the excesses of commercialism and to nurture their minds through programming which not only entertains, but also educates and informs. In implementing the Act, the FCC must ensure that the medium of television lives up to its potential to serve children. Appendices provide a partial list of toys that have been turned into television shows since the 1982-1983 season, a list of program-length commercials, advertisements addressed to children, and the affidavit of Peggy Charren, President, Action for Children's Television, detailing her complaint concerning television advertising.

The first volume reviews the social, cognitive, and economic factors that affect the amount, types, and scheduling of children's programs, and discusses policy options open to the FCC with staff recommendations. The analysis of broadcaster compliance in the second volume is based on a series of studies examining the policy impact on the overall amount of programming designed for children 12 years and under, the amount of educational programming, program scheduling, and overcommercialization on children's television and related advertising issues. The effectiveness of the present license renewal form as a method of assessing compliance is also examined. (CMV) AU - Greene, Susan C.

Television news is more difficult to examine because it resembles an oligopoly, in which competitors are limited & stable. Applied are oligopolistic measures of competition to local television news to better ascertain the existing degree & type of competition. A random sample of markets (number of cases = 20) was drawn from the top 100 SRDS television markets. Data on 13 were obtained. Data consisted of American Research Bureau ratings of the late evening local television news blocks for network affiliated television stations over a period from 1972 to 1976. Three tests of oligopolistic competition were applied to the data. These included the degree of market share change, the correlation between market shares at disparate points in time, & the turnover in market share rank. A significance test for market share changes was also applied. These markets varied greatly in the degree & nature of competition. For the most part, however, competition was relatively weak, with markets very stable for the most part, despite a heavy emphasis on competition within the broadcast news industry. Larger markets tended to be more competitive. Surprisingly, more competitive markets were not significantly related to either larger audiences or growing audiences. 7 Tables. AA.

An Office of Plans and Policy has been formed. As a result of the Future Planning Conference held last year, a research project is underway to examine and recommend changes in the common carrier accounting structure. The next Future Planning Conference will explore possible improvements and alternatives to rate of return regulation in the common carrier industry. Future plans call for inquiry and rulemaking into the data communications and data processing issue, which would incorporate into the rulemaking proceedings the record of a public technological session and a future planning conference. More research will be sponsored into the social consequences of communications, especially into the effect on children of televised advertisements of over-the-counter drugs. The FCC will aslo fund research into many other communications problems in order to provide the agency with hard data on which to base their rulemaking procedures. (JY) AU - Wiley, Richard E.

Individuals from Black Efforts for Soul on Television and the National Association of Black Media Producers opposed the renewals, claiming that programing offered by AETC did not serve the needs of Alabama's minority population. The commission found the licensee had under-represented blacks at both production and planning levels, and excluded most black-oriented programing available from other sources. The AETC disclaimed responsibility for programing decisions of contract stations and maintained it had been unaware of discriminatory policies. The FCC held the AETC accountable, and though noting improvements since the end of the license term, denied renewal on the basis of performance during the term. The AETC was granted interim authority to continue station operation, until new applications could be processed. Dissenting opinions are included.

The FCC held that elimination of commercial sponsorship was financially impractical, and refused to establish a specific number of hours for children's programs, but stated that stations have a clear obligation to provide children's programing which would be considered in license renewal. The industry was criticized for confining programing to weekends and urged to increase weekday offerings. Restrictions were placed on the number of minutes devoted to commercials and on separation of program and commercial matter. Broadcasters were given time to comply, and further review of compliance was promised.

The report analyzes the performance of network affiliates in the top 50 television markets with respect to programing, female and minority employment, and ownership. It seeks to demonstrate the kind of analysis which can be made, to develop minimum standards, and to design an alternative to government regulation by using public disclosure of information to spur the industry to improve its performance and to motivate the public to challenge substandard licensees. The analyses of performance are based upon public data supplied by licensees to the FCC; in three separate chapters criteria on programing, employment, and ownership are developed from inspections of the data and the stations are rank-ordered according to their performance. A fourth chapter discusses what citizens can do to improve television in their community. Six appendixes and 17 tables provide detailed data on approximately 150 stations.

The BC argued that they were entitled to time balance coverage given to the President, based upon; 1) The Constitution's requirement of a balance of separate powers; 2) the FCC's fairness doctrine; 3) the right to free speech; and 4) the public interest. The networks replied they were entitled to control controversial programing, that they presented opposing views, and that the fairness doctrine guaranteed presentation of opposing viewpoints, not the appearance of particular individuals. The FCC affirmed the network's discretionary powers, concurred that the fairness doctrine was issue-oriented and did not give access rights to individuals, and ruled that separation of powers did not imply free access to broadcast time for Congressmen. No ruling was made on the free speech issue since it was being argued in another case before the Supreme Court.

More blacks must gain access to the centers of power--such as the Federal Communications Commission--from which change emanates, and the networks must provide greatly improved opportunities for minority employment in responsible positions. Secondly, television, through its entertainment programing and its function as a new medium, must present a more accurate picture of grassroots black America in order to help blacks build better self-images and to provide whites with a better understanding of blacks.

The Notice said the allocation of Channel 12, part of the Very High Frequency (VHF) bandwidth, was requested by the Mississippi Authority for Educational Television (MAET); and that the MAET had argued although there is an unassigned Ultra High Frequency (UHF) channel in Boonesville, a VHF channel would provide better reception at less cost. The FCC reported that TV broadcasters in Chatanooga, Tenn., Augusta, Ga., and Jackson, Miss., expressed concern about how the proposed channel would affect reception of their signals. The FCC invited comments from TV stations which may have to make technical changes to accommodate the proposed channel, to determine whether, if the allocation is made, it should be on a restricted basis.

AN - 64249905; ED064947 AB - The general intent of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with regard to cable television (CATV) is to allow it enough re-broadcasting and importation of signals so that it can get started without giving CATV so much that it injures existing broadcast television or has no incentive to push into non-broadcast, broadband services which are its unique potential. There are many problems still to be worked out, such as a system of copyright compensation for re-broadcast programs; federal, state, or local jurisdictions; over-promising to get franchises; and understanding a maze of rules which may not even work. However, it is clear that the time has come for cable television to begin to act and experiment, using the spirit of the rules--better service for the public-- and not playing games with the letter of the rules.

AN - 64253804; ED063787 AB - Trinity University and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) share many of the same ground rules; tolerance for diversity, willingness to change, and a guaranteed opportunity for competition in the marketplace of goods, services, and ideas. But a Presidential commission hanging on an office wall is not a hunting license to shape the communications industry to one's own desires. Like us, TV and radio broadcasters are engaged in the search for truth. The search is never a tidy and finite enterprise, and it's never complete. However the right of the broadcaster to present his version as he sees it is one of the strongest planks in the foundation of society. The role of the government and the public is to keep the players honest by scrutiny and criticism. The search for truth is worth a lifetime of dedication.

First, the questions raised by the petitioners are presented: "Did the Commission err in deciding not to impose a complete bar on communications common carriers engaging directly or indirectly in data processing services?"; assuming that the FCC was correct--"Were the safeguards imposed thereon to prevent anti-competitive, discriminatory, and cross-subsitization practices, too rigid or not rigid enough?"; and "Does the FCC have sufficient jurisdiction and statutory authority to take the action it has taken?". Next, the contentions of the petitioners are summarized and the FCC's position regarding each of the contentions is clarified and carefully discussed.

AN - 64255604; ED060665 AB - There is no longer a question of whether something should be done about the impact of televised violence on children; the questions before us are what should be done, and by whom. Thus, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is engaged in an intensive self-education effort to study the economics of the television industry, and the legal and Constitutional implications of possible rule makings. Further, the FCC plans public panel discussions and oral argument before the Commission which will address every facet of our broadcasting system, especially its capability for serving young viewers. The FCC believes that the response of the broadcasting industry to the Surgeon General's report should be immediate, and should include the reduction of all gratuitous violence in children's programming and the creation of new and diversified programming designed to open the eyes and expand the minds of children. At least on paper, the Television Code of the National Association of Broadcasters makes many relevant points. To implement the need for new programming, cooperation and consultation among the networks, broadcasters, and advertisers will be required. Although the FCC cannot make fundamental programming judgments, we can help to create a climate for the responsible, cooperative effort that is clearly called for.

These are but small instances in a whole pattern of totally irresponsible corporate behavior, and they can only be understood and dealt with in that context. Some proposals to remedy this situation include: 1) fund the Public Broadcasting Corporation at no less than $500 million a year; 2) require that the three commercial networks provide one-third of all prime time on a nonsponsored basis for entertainment, dramas, cultural, and public affairs programming; 3) require counter advertising; 4) require that two commercial minutes be removed from every half hour containing violence, and be made available at no cost to professionals so they can provide information about the adverse effects of violence; 5) reduce the permissible number of commercial minutes; 6) require all commercials to be bunched on the hour and half-hour; 7) forbid networks to own programs, program production facilities, or situations; and 8) fund a review of the impact of television upon all aspects of our society.

AN - 64244523; ED056470 AB - In his remarks delivered at the Second National Symposium on Children and Television, Federal Communications Commissioner Nicholas Johnson charges that television is not adequately serving those 20 million Americans under the age of five. He scores the networks for the inane, if not actually harmful, nature of their programming and for the quantity and subject matter of commercials. Action for Children's Television (ACT), he points out, has succeeded in bringing these failures to public attention and in causing at least a temporary effort on the part of the networks to improve some of the programming aimed at children. However, he continues, the commercials aimed at children continue to glorify such non-nutritional items as candy and sweet snacks and the cartoon programs continue to portray violence as having a harmless effect. Commissioner Johnson lauds the efforts of the Children's Television Workshop and of Fred Rogers, but, he insists, it remains for the general public to maintain constant pressure on the networks to improve. He suggests such vigilance could be aided by a separate institute to evaluate the total programming performance of the broadcast industry, especially in the areas of its treatment of violence, its impact on the minorities, its journalistic performance, service to the community, and the effect of its advertising policy.

The rules for the first of these, television broadcast signal carriage, are outlined in terms of three classifications which would divide all signals: mandatory carriage, minimum service, and additional service. The second general area offers policies concerning access to and use of nonbroadcast cable channels and emphasizes that cable operators should construct systems with a bandwidth which will ensure the availability of nonbroadcast services and the capacity for two-way communication. The third general area discusses technical standards which should be made applicable to CATV systems, requiring that a signal meet standards of minimum technical performance on its arrival at any subscriber's terminal. Finally, concerning the fourth general area of Federal-State relationships, the FCC specifies minimum requirements in the local CATV franchising process. A dissenting statement made by one of the Commissioners is appended, as well as a list of the major television markets and a chart of cable signal carriage in major markets.

This notice of inquiry and proposed rule making sets out proposed changes in and additions to renewal procedures designed to ensure that a licensee will remain responsive to community problems throughout the license period and that a licensee will make this responsibility known to the public. Other changes would compel the licensee to encourage the public to comment during the license period on the station's operation and to resolve programming problems at a local level. The amended FCC rules would also provide for a longer period of time to petition against license renewal, to reply to such a petition, and to comment on the reply. The extent to which a petitioner attempted to communicate his complaints to the licensee during the license period would be a criterion in evaluating petitions to deny renewal. Another provision would require the licensee to provide statistical data each year to the FCC concerning the station's operation in the field of community programming.

The FCC advanced its program to provide additional land spectrum space for land mobile communications by establishing a Spectrum Management Task Force. A new fee schedule was adopted to return to the U.S. Treasury funds equal to the Commission's operating expenses. These highlights are summarized in this booklet, which also provides facts and figures about the number of authorized stations of various kinds under the FCC's authority.

AN - 64249018; ED063791 AB - The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) assigns segments of the radio spectrum to categories of users, and specific frequencies within each segment to individual users. Since demand for channel space exceeds supply, the process is complex. The radio spectrum can be compared to a long ruler: the portion from 10-540 kiloHertz has been set aside for long-range radiotelegraph; from 535-1605 kiloHertz is for AM broadcasts; from 1605 kiloHertz to 25 magaHertz is for long-distance and international communications, ships at sea and aircraft in flight; from 25-890 megaHertz is for AM radio and TV; 890 megaHertz to 40 gigaHertz is for other specialized services, and above 40 gigaHertz is used for experimental work. Not all broadcasters require the same amount of radio spectrum. An FM station requires 20 times the channel space of an AM station. A TV signal uses 600 times more space than an AM station. Some increased use of channels is obtained by fequency sharing or "pooling". Some new users could be squeezed into the radio spectrum with more efficiency and cooperative effort by current users.

AN - 64248277; ED064946 AB - The number of households hooked up to cable television or community antenna television (CATV) is expanding rapidly, and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has been developing regulations since 1962 to guide the growth of the industry. By 1965 the FCC had claimed jurisdiction over all CATV systems in the U. S. This jurisdiction was challenged in 1968 and was reaffirmed by the Supreme Court. The same year the FCC proposed new rules regarding which signals could be carried on CATV in certain categories of broadcast markets. In October 1969 the FCC ruled that CATV systems with 3,500 or more subscribers must start originating a significant amount of programing within 18 months. In 1970 the FCC prohibited CATV ownership by telephone companies in their own service areas and by national TV networks. The same year the Commission established new rules about importing distant signals and began an inquiry into how regulatory authority over CATV should be divided among federal, state, and local government.

AN - 64249876; ED063798 AB - Is currently produced software helping solve specific problems, or is it geared toward maintaining outmoded educational programs? Can it be a creative service? One should ask of any given piece of software if it is produced to interrelate with all the other learning resources and experiences of the student, rather than to fit a particular machine or particular course. The International University of Communications, beginning operations in 1971, will be based on an individualized learning-tutorial system which will use educational technology to free the teacher from all the machine-like parts of his job and leave his time for personal, advisory work with students. The crucial question is whether the software industry will be able to supply the University with the highly integrated, multi-media, inter-curricular content needed for effective application of this learning system.

The mass media can increase dissatisfaction with the status quo and move the world forward; they can lessen dissatisfaction and provide bases for understanding existing values and goals; they can give the world an understanding and stimulation in a totally new structure of communication resources. Some crucial areas where mass media could have great effect are the inner-city vs. suburbs struggle, formal education, international communications, and inter-group communications.

AN - 64251764; ED064910 AB - The media have been adapted to serve the administrative and curriculum structures of the present education system, instead of changing education to take advantage of the most effective means of communication today--television and radio. Television and radio must be used to enable the disadvantaged to communicate with the outside world, particularly with white suburbia, and it must also be used to provide urgently needed upgraded formal education for children. Students in the classroom must be freed from the excess time used for factual learning so that they can devote that time to their fulfillment as non-mechanized human beings. If this had been done, perhaps there would not be such an atmosphere of violence and intolerance in the world. There is no problem that is not dependent on communication for optimum solution, and no area that cannot be affected in a positive, humanitarian way by the effective use of communication. Thus, one of the most significant educational investments possible to make today would be to establish a Communications University to provide needed training, education, and services.

AN - 64257095; ED064911 AB - All children today live in an aural and visual world--yet virtually every education program in the country is based on the print world of 50 years ago. Television must be used to provide motivation for children, particularly disadvantaged children, which print cannot--it must provide a socializing situation, make the real world a part of the classroom, provide the problems of the real world as a learning problem, and call the solutions and understanding gained education. White suburbia must also be educated so that free and equal opportunity will be realized. Teachers of all children should be freed from tasks which machines are capable of, and students should use the time they would have spent in rote, factual learning on developing their own potentials and creativity.

AN - 64247428; ED063786 AB - The report summarizes information about the history, technology and operation of educational television (ETV) in the U.S. The history of educational broadcasting is outlined from 1941 when the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved applications for five noncommercial FM radio channels, to 1967 and the passing of the Public Broadcasting Act. The report describes regulations covering ETV and points out that educational stations concerned mostly with classroom instruction can use a reserved portion of the broadcasting spectrum from 2500 to 2590 MegaHertz. Non-technological language is used to describe how microwave relay, TV translators, and cable television (CATV) are used in instructional systems. The report describes both private and government sources of funds for supporting ETV, and outlines the procedure to get FCC approval for an ETV station. Various sources of educational programs are listed, as well as private and government organizations which provide other kinds of help to ETV broadcasters.

AN - 64248168; ED063801 AB - At a time of urban crisis, it becomes essential for people to learn about the special problems and needs of other people in the same community. If not actual experience, then visual experience through television can provide a good view into the perspective of other cultures. Television has an obligation to provide education of this sort, particularly for the ghetto child who has the intelligence and potential to learn, but is held back by our print-oriented educational process. The mass media must be convinced to provide a socializing situation for the child, and to provide the problems of the real world as the learning problem. Further, this sort of education or communication should be also intended for adults, both advantaged and disadvantaged, so that understanding will be increased. The first task, however, is to make a dent in the hopelessness that ghettoized Blacks--to bring some bit of reality, as opposed to the oft-broken promises, to the dream that there is some hope for their children. If television has shown the suburban promised land, it also seems necessary that television could show people how to reach that land. (SH) AU - Hilliard, Robert L.

AN - 64250292; ED063799 AB - Instructional television (ITV) today is being used by only one-fifth of the schools in this country; even though television makes possible education tailor-made to the needs of each student, it is often used merely as a supplement to education as memorization of standardized facts. Television must be used to bring the world to the student and vice versa, and it is the responsibility of those who develop instructional television to see that it is used correctly so that the long-needed revolution in education can finally take place.

AN - 64252889; ED063795 AB - Television has been used too much as a classroom aid--practitioners have been content to pervert the new media with old, harmful uses when the new media could be used to change education. If a medium can have as great an impact upon the communicant and the communicator as does the content conveyed, then the modern media are not just tools divorced from learning and teaching, but are part of the process. Teachers should be freed from functions which machines can perform, and students should be freed to devote time to their fulfillment as non-mechanized human beings. Education today, however, is set up to encourage competition so that students have little choice but to become mechanized storage and retrieval systems. Education itself must change to properly accommodate the effects of the new technology: mass communications should be a required curriculum, standardized testing should be abolished, each student should be provided for learning, independent study should be encouraged, and all student experiences and development should be part of education's responsibility.

AN - 64252330; ED063800 AB - To make adequate use of mass media for children's education, we must recognize that the medium is the message, that the conveyer is the content. The medium itself changes behavior, learning and growth patterns of the child. For example television itself teaches a special kind of visual awareness and enhances the ability to relate non-immediate mediated experience to live experience. Once this is recognized, we can begin making better use of media for educational goals. Our educational goals for children are: to prepare individuals for effective participation as citizens; to encourage self-realization; to develop vocational skills; to foster ethical and aesthetic growth. But educational media have not done much to help meet these goals. Educational programming aimed at children has been inadequate. Changes are needed. We should start by recognizing the considerable impact of TV on youth, and by agreeing that a primary goal of TV should be to meet children's educational needs. (MG) AU - Hilliard, Robert L.
