While he was majoring in zoology at the University of Notre Dame, he curated the biology museum there and taught summer biology courses to his fellow students. He liked to take them to the bogs around South Bend. He'd be at one end of the bog, giving his talk, and would have the stu- dents stand at the other end. "Because of all the weight on their side, the bog would start going down. I'd be up sort of high and dry." And he was up there wondering what he should be. Dr. Corley McFarland, a good friend and ophthal- mologist, told the amiable Dr. Gadacz to merge his interest in science and people and consider medicine. So he spent time with the family doctor. Dr. Brian Donnelly. "I thought it was really fascinating what he was doing. When I saw him really helping people, that sort of turned me on." He had a genetics fel- lowship all lined up at Stanford University. He asked the head of the pro- gram if he could put the fel- lowship on hold for six months. "He said, 'You've got to be kidding.'"

C-SPAN was created by the cable industry in 1979 as a gift to the American people and today with their stellar reputation, they are more relevant than ever. Unique to media as a non-profit, C-SPAN is a true public service of the cable and satellite providers that fund it. It’s thanks to the support of so many Cable TV Pioneers that C-SPAN has thrived. Many have served on C-SPAN’s board of directors, while others committed to add the services to their channel line-ups. So many local cable folks have welcomed C-SPAN into their markets to meet with the community and work with educators and local officials.

  • 1. Il Quadro Economico E Regolamentare
    Il sistema globale delle comunicazioni 1. IL QUADRO ECONOMICO E REGOLAMENTARE Lo sviluppo della tecnologia digitale sta ridisegnando i confini tra i di- versi servizi di telecomunicazione, le trasmissioni radiotelevisive ed i servizi informatici on line. Tradizionalmente, infatti, tali servizi erano forniti attraverso reti e piattaforme differenti; oggi, invece, la tecnolo- gia digitale è in grado di fornire una codificazione comune e una mag- giore capacità di banda così da poter veicolare più servizi di comuni- cazione sulle stesse reti. Paradigma del veloce progredire di tale fe- nomeno di convergenza è il rapido sviluppo di Internet, Rete delle re- ti oramai in grado di fornire una varietà completa di servizi di comu- nicazione, compresa la telefonia vocale e la televisione. La conver- genza dei servizi, stimolata dal progresso tecnologico, ed i conse- guenti cambiamenti nelle strutture del mercato costituiscono il punto di partenza ma anche la sfida per le attività di regolamentazione del- le comunicazioni. Innanzitutto il quadro giuridico-regolamentare si presenta ancora frammentato. In Europa, ma anche negli Stati Uniti, le norme relative alla televisione, alle telecomunicazioni e ad Internet sono diverse. Anche i principi ispiratori sono differenti. La televisione (in Europa) viene per lo più regolamentata per assicurare il pluralismo politico e sociale. Le telecomunicazioni rispondono a imperativi di carattere economico-concorrenziale. Internet presenta maggiore flessibilità ma con il rischio che una liberalità derivante dal carattere innovativo del mezzo presti il fianco ad abusi o a sviluppi non uniformi nei vari pae- si. Inoltre, nella maggior parte dei paesi, le istituzioni responsabili della regolamentazione nel settore della radiotelevisione e delle tele- comunicazioni sono distinte l’una dall’altra.
