Seen as an outgrowth of the expansion of the communications satellite, the worldwide plunging costs of television set ownership, the recent global cross-investments involving media industries, and the collapse of the superpower conflict, global television networks represent, for most observers, a relatively new idea. 1 “The UNITEL Relay Network Plan,” October 1952, Jackson, C.D.: Records, 1953-54 (hereafter C.

Of the 137 operating NAEB radio stations,contributing to the insufficient news communication resources of the nation,73 responded to a questionnaire onlive networking and 67 expressed degreesof interestinparticipation. A sample broadcasting schedule was based on the assumptionsof an eight hour broadcast day, a general listening audience, andlive transmission. Some ofthe advantages of such a network, programed on a mutualbasis with plans for a modifiedround-robin service, would be improvededucational programing, widespreadavailability, and reduction of station operating costs. Using13 NAEB stations as a round-robinbasic network, the remaining 39 could be fed on a one-wayline at a minimum wireline cost of $8569 per month; the equivalent costfor the complete network wouldbe $17,585. As the national network develops throughinterconnection of regionalnetworks and additionof long-haultelephonecircuits,anationalheadquartersshould be established.

    Proceedings of the American Association for Public Opinion Research At the Third International Conference on Public Downloaded from Opinion Research, Eagles Mere, Pennsylvania, September 12-15, 1948 FOREWORD http://poq.oxfordjournals.org/ The third international conference on public opinion research marked the establishment on a permanent basis of two professional societies, one domestic, one international, which had their inception at the first conference at Central City, Colorado, in the summer of 1946. This report of the pro- ceedings of the American Association for Public Opinion Research, severely condensed though it be, documents the progress that has been made during the two years since the first of these meetings was held. Even more than at AAPOR Member Access on March 8, 2016 Williamstown, Eagles Merc showed a responsibleness of mind in appraising problems, methods, and techniques, and in accepting the obligations of com- petence that rest upon professionals whether they arc serving private clients or the public and whether they are interested in the development of abstract knowledge or in practical administrative service. Only such conferences in which theorists, technologists, and practitioners consider their problems with complete frankness and severely critical thoughtfulness will enable any one of these groups to make its maximum contribution.

The report furnishes information required by section 4(k) of the CommWlications Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to the fiscal year 1963 and notes subsequent important happenings up to the time of going to press. This updating is essential for more current appraisal of the rapid developments in space and national defense communication; progress in assisting UHF television generally and educational TV in par­ ticular; problems of AM broadcast congestion and growing pains of FM; continued stress by the Commission on public-service obligations of broadcasters; unceasing growth and attendant complications in the many nonbroadcast radio services; automation and other mod­ ernization of telegraph and telephone facilities; and the never-ending search for additional space and frequency-usage economies to ac­ commodate new and expanding radio services.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the I"*1** advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document ** been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material “ ^ tte d . The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand ra,rtS p or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Pagefs)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round Mack mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming >t the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

By custom, this report deals primarily with Commission activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1950. However, telecommunica­ tious is such a fast-moving subject that it has been found appropriate to include in tlie introductory summary brief reference to subsequent events up to the time of going to press. The attention of the Congress is invited, in particular, to the little­ publicized yet highly important developments in the nonbroadcast field. Here new and augmented services have a material public impact in utilizing radio for the protection of life and property, as adjuncts to commerce and industry, and in furthering common car­ rier telephone and telegraph service.
