    INTERNATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS: DYNAMICS OF REGULATION OF A RAPIDLY EXPANDING SERVICE AsImR H. ENDE* I A PROFILE OF THE REGULATORY ISSION The Communications Act of 1934, as amended' (the Communications Act), and the Communicatons Satellite Act of 19622 (the Satellite Act) provide for pervasive and all-encompassing federal regulation of international telecommunications. The basic purposes to be achieved by such regulation are declared to be "to make avail- able, so far as possible, to all the people of the United States a rapid, efficient, Nation-wide, and world-wide wire and radio communications service with adequate facilities at reasonable charges, ...." This broad and general statement of purposes is supplemented by the Declaration of Policy and Purposes in the Satellite Act. In that act, Congress declared it to be the policy of the United States to establish,-in conjunction and cooperation with other countries and as expeditiously as practicable, a commercial communications satellite system which, as part of an improved global communications network, would be responsive to public needs and national objectives, would serve the communications needs of this country and other countries, and would contribute to world peace and understanding In effectuating the above program, care and attention are to be directed toward providing services to economically less developed countries and areas as well as more highly developed ones, toward efficient and economical use of the frequency spectrum, and toward reflecting the benefits of the new technology in both the quality of the services provided and the charges for such services.4 United States participation in the global system is to be in the form of a private corporation subject to appropriate governmental regulation.5 All authorized users are to have nondiscriminatory access to the satellite system.

And, what a great Radiofest it was! Our new venue was nothing short of fantastic, and our hotel accommodations were a huge upgrade over last year. Our seller registrations were up over 9% compared with 2015 and the main auction bottom line was the second highest ever. It was, as always, a jam-packed event, and I know that even those who stayed for the entire duration could not possibly have experienced every part of it. But now you can read all about it right here! This month’s ARCI NEWS features individual, detailed articles covering every aspect of Radiofest 2016, including the main auction, ham station, RCA display, and equipment contest. So, take a little time to sit back, relax, and read all about what actually happened at our premier ARCI event!

  • Reconstructing the Political Economy of Communication for the Digital Media Age
    The Political Economy of Communication 4(2), 73–114 © The Author 2016 http://www.polecom.org Reconstructing the Political Economy of Communication for the Digital Media Age Dwayne Winseck, Carleton University, Ottawa Keywords: political economy; intellectual history; communication history Abstract Within communication studies, the political economy of communication (PEC) approach is typically seen to be the sole preserve of Marxist scholars, with origins in the late 20th century. Such a view, however, obscures an older, trans-Atlantic political economy tradition forged by Europe and North American scholars who made communications media central objects of their analyses in the late-19th and early-20th centuries. This earlier tradition was imported into communication studies through the halfway house of sociology, mostly after the turn of the 20th century, thereby thoroughly entangling the intellectual history of communication studies with that of political economy from the beginning. Moreover, the formative years of the field were never the barren ‘administrative wasteland’ often thought. Indeed, combined with the research done beyond the field’s borders by economists, business historians, legal and regulatory scholars, etc. throughout the 20th Century, a wealth of underused resources is close-to- hand that can help us to reimagine and reconstruct what we mean by the PEC traditions today. This article starts to recover these neglected elements, and the contributions of the institutionalist and Cultural Industries schools especially. It
