    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 358 828 IR 016 108 AUTHOR Thompsen, Philip A. TITLE Public Broadcasting in the New World of Digital Information Services: What's Been Done, What's Being Done, and What Could Be Done. PUB DATE May 92 NOTE 12p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the International Communication Association (42nd, Miami, FL, May 20-25, 1992). PUB TYPE Viewpoints (Opinion/Position Papers, Essays, etc.) (120) Speeches/Conference Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MFO1 /PCO1 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Broadcast Television; Educational Television; Electronic Mail; *Information Technology; *Mass Media Role; *Public Television; *Radio; Technological Advancement IDENTIFIERS Closed Captioned Television; *Digital Information Services; *Public Broadcasting ABSTRACT This paper explores the progress public broadcasting (originally called "educational television") has made in taking advantage of a relatively new application of tecnnology: digital information services. How public broadcasters have pursued this technology and how it may become an integral part of the future of public broadcasting are reviewed. Three of the more successful digital information services that have been provided by public broadcasters (i.e., closed captioning, electronic bulletin board services, and electronic text) are discussed. The paper then discusses three areas that are currently being pursued: digital radio broadcasting, interactive video data services, and the broadcasting of data over the vertical blanking interval (VBI) of public television stations. A vision for the future of public broadcasting is considered, identifying some of the important opportunities that should be taken advantage of before the rapidly changing technological environment eclipses public broadcasting's chance to define a better future for an electronic society.

  • What Is Interactive Television, Anyway? and How Do We Prepare for It? Part One: Datacasting Makes a Comeback
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 386 147 IR 017 263 AUTHOR Vedro, Steven TITLE What Is Interactive Television, Anyway? And How Do We Prepare for It? Part One: Datacasting Makes a Comeback. Info. Packets No. 15. SPONS AGENCY Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Washington, D.C. PUB DATE May 95 NOTE 7p. AVAILABLE FROMCorporation for Public Broadcasting, 901 E.

DESCRIPTORS *Broadcast Reception Equipment; Cable Television; Educational Television; *Interactive Television; Programming (Broadcast); *Technological Advancemeht IDENTIFIERS Closed Captioned Television; *Datacasting; Data Compression; Data Transmission; *Digital Transmission Systems; Vertical Blanking interval; Video on Demand ABSTRACT Much of the debate over interactive television has focused on immediate push-button access to a wide range of high quality, full motion video programs. Public broadcasters need to position themselves for the coming age of digital transmission; they can do this by concentrating on transition services that offer increased interaction with less risk than do the most complex and high bandwidth on-demand services. While the total vision of interactive television is still some years away, the delivery of data services along with television programs is not a new idea. Audio-subcarrier and various vertical blanking interval (VBI) text services using closed captioning decoders have been tested. Although they were discarded for the most part, datacasting is beginning to make a comeback as decoding devices are becoming affordable. Two commercial projects, StarSight Telecast and the Interactive Network, illustrate services possible now with low-cost datacasters in the home. Spread-spectrum digital radio will soon offer an alternative upstream response channel for future interactive applications.

Table of Contents Paragraph I. INTRODUCTION 1 II. BACKGROUND 2 III. ISSUE ANALYSIS A. Application of Section 73.621 of the Commission’s Rules to Entire Digital Bitstream of NCE Licensees 7 B. Advertising 19 C. Payment of fees 34 IV. ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS 46 Appendix A: Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis Appendix B: List of Commenters Appendix C: Rule Changes I. INTRODUCTION 1. With this Report and Order, we clarify the manner in which noncommercial educational ("NCE") television licensees may use their excess digital television ("DTV") capacity for remunerative purposes. Among other things, we amend Section 73.621 of our rules to apply to the entire digital bitstream, including ancillary or supplementary services, thereby requiring NCE licensees to use their digital capacity primarily for a noncommercial, nonprofit, educational broadcast service. We also amend Sections 73.642 and 73.644 of our rules to clarify that NCE licenses may offer subscription services on their excess digital capacity. We determine that Section 399B of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, the provision restricting Federal Communications Commission FCC 01-306 advertising by NCE licensees, continues to apply to all broadcasting by NCE licensees, but does not apply to nonbroadcast services, such as subscription services provided on their DTV channels.

  • Spectrum Set-Asides As Content-Neutral Metric: Creating a Practical Balance Between Media Access and Market Power
    SPECTRUM SET-ASIDES AS CONTENT-NEUTRAL METRIC: CREATING A PRACTICAL BALANCE BETWEEN MEDIA ACCESS AND MARKET POWER Michael M. Epstein* I. INTRODUCTION This Article explores the practicality and desirability of a public access system for digital broadcasters. While the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine and the Supreme Court’s decision in Miami Herald Publishing Co. v. Tornillo 1 have put a damper on the longstanding efforts of access advocates, the time is ripe to recognize that the new technologies of digital multiplexing and spatial zoning not only make a robust public access system legally feasible, but potentially desirable for government regulators, broadcasters and the public. In a recent article, I proposed a theory of public access based on the contractual principle of bargained-for exchange, or quid pro quo. 2 This theory is predicated on the idea that broadcasters would agree to provide access to the public in return for increased market power that broadcasters are eager to secure from Congress. 3 This Article looks less at the theories that would justify an application of quid pro quo to speech, and more to the law and policy considerations that would relate to placing a voluntary access-for-market-power system into practice. If devised well, such a system has the potential to address many of the objectives of the now-defunct Fairness Doctrine, which broadcasters actively opposed, and which proved to be ineffective as a right of broadcast access for citizens. 4 * Professor of Law, Southwestern Law School.

    TELECOMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGIES IN DISTANCE LEARNING Prof.Dr. Don Flournoy Ohio University College Of Communication I. Introduction Arthur Clarke, the father of space communications, asserts that the problems of communication today are not technological. They are economic and political. “It seems to me,” he said in a satellite-based interview at CNN, “we can already do almost anything we want technologically. What is holding us back (in terms of a more equitable information society) is money and political will.”(Arthur Clarke, 1995) Clarke is right. Given financial resources and political will, great strides can be made in applying technologies to the solution of societal problems, including problems in education. Even with little or no money and only modest cooperation or support from governments, many things can still be done to impro ve access to education and enhance the quality of the educational experience. But it helps us to understand what technologies are out there, whether we can afford them or not, for the mere existence of a tool shapes how we think about the possible. In the toolbox of distance educators today there are many options.These include tools for transmitting educational programming to al most any point on the globe or for distributing information only within a school district or building. Educators now have the capability to transmit from a single site to many receivers, or only from point to point, as in one desktop to another. Such transmissions can be one-way or they can be interactive. They can be synchronous, that is, they can be live, direct and in real time or asynchronous, to be responded to later.
