As the mass audience continues to fragment into ever-smaller niche audiences and communities of interest, and new technologies shift control over the television viewing experience from network programmers into the hands of media consumers, television's traditional business models prove themselves increasingly untenable. -
Echostar Satellite L.L.C
EchoStar Satellite L.L.C. • Englewood, Colorado Statement of Hammett & Edison, Inc., Consulting Engineers The firm of Hammett & Edison, Inc., Consulting Engineers, has been retained by EchoStar Satellite L.L.C. to prepare an engineering statement in response to the FCC’s Notice of Inquiry in ET Docket No. 05-182, “Technical Standards for Satellite-Delivered Network Signals.”1 Background In its Notice of Inquiry in ET Docket No. 05-182 (“NOI”), the Commission seeks, among other things, information and comment on current regulations that identify households that are unserved by local analog broadcast television stations in order to determine if the regulations may be accurately applied to local digital broadcast stations for the same purpose. Specifically, the Commission seeks technical information in the following areas: (1) whether a new standard should account for the fact that an antenna can be mounted on a roof or placed in a home and can be fixed or capable of rotating, (2) whether the codified system of “cluster measurements”2 should be amended to create different procedures for determining the requisite digital signal strength, (3) whether a standard should be developed that does not require the presence of a signal of certain strength to ensure that a household can receive a high-quality picture, (4) whether to develop a predictive methodology for determining whether a household is unserved by an adequate digital signal, (5) whether there is wide variation in the ability of reasonably priced consumer digital television (“DTV”) sets to receive over-the-air signals, and (6) whether to account for factors such as building loss, external interference, and clutter. -

It was the main source of news, entertainment and sports for most Americans, supplemented by daily newspapers and glossy magazines. As Hap Freund, station manager for Channel 28 (pre-cursor to Seattle Channel) stated, “Channel surfing is an important reality; it’s how most people watch television.” A new development called “the Internet” served as a supplement to television. For the savvy and fortunate few, the world wide web was a platform to connect with others around the globe in just a few keystrokes and clicks of the mouse. Despite these new choices and an array of channels to choose from, the airwaves were dominated by commercial, for-profit content. In the early 1970s, DUCTION the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) laid the groundwork for public- access television by requiring cable companies to provide free access for government, educational, and public purposes.1 Major municipalities across the United States began using this new platform to broadcast the proceedings of city and county government, enabling civic leaders to communicate directly with constituents via government-access TV, in addition to establishing educational and public-access channels. At the heart of this effort to democratize the airwaves were the key American values of transparency, equality and access. -

Cable and Satellite Television Network Tiering and a La Carte Options for Consumers: Issues for Congress
Order Code RL32398 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Cable and Satellite Television Network Tiering and a la Carte Options for Consumers: Issues for Congress Updated June 9, 2004 Charles B. Goldfarb Specialist in Industrial Organization and Telecommunications Policy Resources, Science, and Industry Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Cable and Satellite Television Network Tiering and a la Carte Options for Consumers: Issues for Congress Summary Multi-channel (cable and satellite) television is the single largest component of the entertainment sector, generating $48.6 billion in residential subscription revenues and an additional $15.0 billion in advertising revenues in 2002. It is a major source of news and informational programming and diverse entertainment programming, including niche programming. Some consumer advocates complain, however, that, as a result of the industry-wide practice of offering almost all advertiser-supported cable networks in a single tier only, consumers are forced to purchase networks they are not interested in receiving in order to obtain the networks they want. For example, in order for consumers to obtain desired children’s networks, such as Nickelodeon or Discovery Kids, they must purchase the expanded basic service tier that includes networks whose programming some consider not of interest or objectionable. These advocates claim consumers would be better off if they had the option to purchase just the individual cable networks they want (this is frequently
