  • Introduction
    Introduction It was the first week of 1980. Twelve months before, the University of Colorado Interdisciplinary Telecommunications Program (ITP) had suspended me for letting my grade point average drop below a 3.0. The ITP had admitted me with a provision that my grade point aver- age not fall below a 3.0. If not for a 750 score on the Graduate Record Exam and solid references from my sales manager, some of my previ- ous customers, and the training manager of Belden Corporation, the electronic cable manufacturing company that employed me, my appli- cation in 1977 to enter graduate school in the ITP probably wouldn’t even have been accepted. I’d previously been a factory sales representative for Belden in New York City in the 1970s. My sales territory predominantly served the national headquarters offices of broadcasters ABC, NBC, and CBS, the national headquarters offices of cable television industry multi- ple system operators (MSOs) Teleprompter Corporation and Warner Cable Corporation, and the two local cable television systems on xxix xxx INTrodUCTION Manhattan Island, Manhattan Cable Company (owned by Time Life Corporation) and Teleprompter Manhattan Corporation (owned by Teleprompter Corporation). In November 1975, I originated and arranged a meeting between Belden’s Vice President of Marketing, Jack McCarthy, and the President of Teleprompter Corporation’s Cable-TV Division, William Bresnan, to discuss a partnership to deploy light-wave technology via fiber-optic glass strands in cable television. On July 9, 1976, the New York Times reported, “TV Begins to Use Fiber Technology,”1 and the Wall Street Journal reported, “Tele- prompter Adds Light-Wave System to Cable-TV Unit.”2 The cable television industry obtained rights to pole attachment in public right- of-way from the FCC in 1978.3 After a summer session and the fall term in 1978 my grade point average slipped below a 3.0 due to a statistics class.

  • Media Infrastructure: Access, Mobility, and Social Formations
    MEDIA INFRASTRUCTURE: ACCESS, MOBILITY, AND SOCIAL FORMATIONS Sindhu Zagoren A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of PhD in the Communications Studies Department in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2014 Approved by: Lawrence Grossberg Kenneth Hillis Jeremy Packer John Pickles Sarah Sharma © 2014 Sindhu Zagoren ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Sindhu Zagoren: Media Infrastructure: Access, Mobility, and Social Formations (Under the direction of Lawrence Grossberg) Through an analysis of communication infrastructure, this dissertation offers a study of the overarching systems that shape our communicative processes, and the ways these processes are commodified. Infrastructural systems always combine both “hard” material apparatuses and “soft” forms and uses, and as such they can offer a way to examine the interrelation of content and conduits. Innovations in communication infrastructure, both hard and soft, mobilize communication in new ways. The forms of communication mobility are material practices that create and shape space by adding meanings and values to it. Access to these communicative spaces is structured through technological and social systems, which position communicative space as a natural resource. This resource is then struggled over, and most often privatized, through the institution of cultural forms. These forms define access to communicative resources through a process of commodification, which generates value from these resources by retroactively structuring them as limited. The result of the commodification of communicative resources generated by infrastructural innovations is particular media formations, wherein infrastructures are assumed to generate discrete communication forms that are intrinsically related to their material apparatuses.

In this First Report and Order (“Order”), we adopt rules implementing certain aspects of the Satellite Home Viewer Improvement Act of 1999 (“SHVIA”).1 SHVIA authorizes satellite carriers to add more local and national broadcast programming to their offerings, and to make that programming available to subscribers who previously have been prohibited from receiving broadcast fare via satellite under compulsory licensing provisions of the copyright law. The legislation generally seeks to place satellite carriers on an equal footing with local cable operators when it comes to the availability of broadcast programming, and thus give consumers more and better choices in selecting a multichannel video program distributor (“MVPD”).

BROADCAST LICENSEES: FAIR GAME FOR CORPORATE RAIDERS* M. Michele Faber** The conventional wisdom in the regulation of broadcasting has been that a transfer of control cannot lawfully occur without prior Federal Communica- tions Commission (FCC) approval. To the party seeking control, this re- quirement has meant the filing of detailed applications and the potential for lengthy delays or public hearings. This approach worked reasonably well in the context of voluntary acquisitions and in a less volatile market. The Commission's conventional transfer of control procedures appear less appro- priate, however, in today's competitive business environment. With the recent trend of hostile takeovers, the FCC has reason to examine its traditional approach to transfer of control applications. Experience has shown that the acquiror in a contested acquisition faces an untenable regula- tory dilemma. The acquiror may submit to protracted FCC review proceed- ings and thereby risk defeat by incumbent licensee management. Alternatively, the acquiror may effect transfer of control consistent with fed- eral securities and antitrust laws but in possible violation of FCC require- ments.
