October 1971 PREFACE The development of satellites for communications purposes has tended to greatly expand concepts con- cerning integrated communications systems. The traditional distinctions within the communications industry are dis- solving in favor of new and innovative technologically- based systems. In addition to one-way broadcasting, it has become feasible to consider interactive communication which will allow educational and informational activities to take place on a scale never before imagined. The word "teleconferencing" is used to describe a communications system providing bidirectional communication which has a great potential in the educational area for professionals, remote medical diagnosis, business con- ferences and computer techniques. A teleconferencing system utilizing a satellite which virtually eliminates distance as a cost factor can provide specialized services to various segments of our society. It is possible that satellites will be developed which are dedicated solely to teleconferencing purposes. Given the technological possibilities of a satellite teleconferencing system, it becomes necessary to consider the legal framework within which such a system or series of systems could be developed. Thus this work considers ii the legal context for satellite teleconferencing regulation, the options available for such a system, the regulatory alternatives, the special case to be made for an educational system and an ownership and management model. A number of options are presented for coping with the technological possibilities and systems configurations since a number of interrelated decisions will need to be made by various governmental and private'bodies. It is hoped that this work will be further added to by additional in-depth studies in specific areas. I am particularly indebted to Dr. D.W. Bowett of Cambridge University, England for initial encouragement in this general area of research, to Dr. V.E. Suomi and Mr. T.O. Haig of the Space Science and Engineering Center for their constant concern and support, and to a large number of people at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for insight and counsel over a span of years. I also wish to thank Nikola Kostich for research assistance, Larry Chambers and Linda Stephenson for coordination activities, and Nancy Wulfers, Sandra Noe, and Katherine Shervis for their efforts in the preparation of this material. At Stanford University, I am grateful to Dr. Bruce Lusignan for technological grounding and advice, and I also benefited from exchanges with Jim Potter and Ray Panko. Whenever research is done at the interface iii between law and technology there must be a truely inter- disciplinary research effort and the above people con- tributed greatly to making this a reality. The responsibility, however, for what follows is solely that of the author in both form and substance. Delbert D.

Following is a study of the legal aspects of satellite teleconferencing which deals with the various management, ownership, and regulatory alternatives. The policy options available for satellite teleconferencing systems are.also considered and special consideration is given to the development of an educational satellite tele- conferencing system and the special problems that this involves. Any regulatory regime for a satellite telecon- ferencing system must take into consideration the existing regulatory modes governing the subsystems employed and also the possibility of creating a new regulatory regime based on the premise that the interconnection of various subsystems results in a new entity requiring an innovative regulatory approach. The last decade of American history has witnessed significant scientific achievements, among which are vital developments in the area of communications tech- nology. The development of new technology is seriously challenging the existing configuration of the communi- cations industry. Communications satellites are a prime example of a new technique which tends to blur the traditional divisions of functions between various seg- ments of the communications industry. Likewise the use of digital computers removes the well-defined borders separating the communications industry from the data processing industry. The new. technologies have made possible the development of new communication and information ser- vices which enable individuals, or machines appropriately programmed by individuals, to communicate with each other, and the individuals to furnish and control the content of the messages which are transmitted. An example of such a service is a satellite teleconferencing system, equipped to provide bidirectional communication and allowing individuals (or machines) situated in diverse locations to reach common solutions to problems. The use of teleconferencing techniques has a great potential in providing services such as continuing education for professionals, remote medical diagnosis and consultation, -2- professional society meetings, business conferences, and various computer techniques. The development of satellite teleconferencing systems will present a challenge to the present structure of the communications industry. What will be the legal, and necessarily politico-economic, framework within which conflicts over the distribution of new business opportunities will be decided? What should be the goals of government regulation with regard to such distribution? In the development of a teleconferencing system there are a number of interests that will need to be balanced as new suppliers of services enter the market. However, "The current market structure (of the communications industry) provides a setting in which the existing common carriers, on the one hand, and the potential entrants on the other, pursue conflicting courses of action, subject to the constraints of highly imperfect markets and regulation."l Teleconferencing Systems Components In order to comprehend the present structure of the communications industry and the problems which will face any proposal for a teleconferencing system, it is essential that the differences between several categories of electronic bi-directional communications be properly understood. The technical explanation of teleconferencing techniques may be somewhat rudimentary, but it may provide a sound basis for a discussion of policy implications of each available method. -3- A satellite teleconferencing system will use trans- mission techniques which have been used to some extent. These are: satellite transmissions, microwave relay systems and coaxial cable. By listing them separately it is not intended to suggest that an exclusive choice of the three must be made. The manner of listing only suggests that distinct issues are presented by each method, and that they must be fully considered in any system which is a mix of two or even all three techniques.

  • The Development of the UK Television News Industry 1982 - 1998
    -iì~ '1,,J C.12 The Development of the UK Television News Industry 1982 - 1998 Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Alison Preston Deparent of Film and Media Studies University of Stirling July 1999 Abstract This thesis examines and assesses the development of the UK television news industry during the period 1982-1998. Its aim is to ascertain the degree to which a market for television news has developed, how such a market operates, and how it coexists with the 'public service' goals of news provision. A major purpose of the research is to investigate whether 'the market' and 'public service' requirements have to be the conceptual polarities they are commonly supposed to be in much media academic analysis of the television news genre. It has conducted such an analysis through an examination of the development strategies ofthe major news organisations of the BBC, ITN and Sky News, and an assessment of the changes that have taken place to the structure of the news industry as a whole. It places these developments within the determining contexts of Government economic policy and broadcasting regulation. The research method employed was primarily that of the in-depth interview with television news management, politicians and regulators: in other words, those instrumental in directing the strategic development within the television news industry. Its main findings are that there has indeed been a development of market activity within the television news industry, but that the amount of this activity has been limited by the particular economic attributes of the television news product.

  • Media for Wisconsin Schools
    www.ecb.org Media for Wisconsin Schools 2007-2009 Biennium From the Executive Director Partnerships Trusted. Quality. Educational. These are just some of the words that describe the work of the Wisconsin Educational Communications Board (ECB) and its mission to provide public service media to the citizens of Wisconsin. The decades-long partnership between the ECB and the University of Wisconsin-Extension provides the foundation for Wisconsin Public Radio and Wisconsin Public Television. The proliferation of alternative media platforms also means that the need for trusted, high quality, educational content has never been greater and the ECB provides that in a number of ways. The ECB’s Education Division acquires and produces some of the highest quality educational content in the country. Over the last two years, ECB’s educational productions have continued to win nationwide recognition while serving the needs of over 56,000 teachers and 870,000 students throughout the state. Produced in cooperation with the Department of Public Instruction and with a strong adherence to Wisconsin’s model academic standards, the ECB’s Educational Division delivers over 37 hours of instructional programming every week on Wisconsin Public Television alone. Whether it’s through Wisconsin Public Television, ECB’s partnerships with Milwaukee Public Television and WDSE-TV in Duluth, Minnesota—or through datacasting and Internet platforms, the ECB remains committed to statewide service. But providing high quality content is just one part of the ECB’s responsibilities. ECB’s Delivery Division is responsible for building, operating and maintaining the broadcast infrastructure that hundreds of thousands of Wisconsin residents rely upon every day.
