Book excerpt: "The United States Code is the official codification of the general and permanent laws of the United States of America. The Code was first published in 1926, and a new edition of the code has been published every six years since 1934. The 2012 edition of the Code incorporates laws enacted through the One Hundred Twelfth Congress, Second Session, the last of which was signed by the President on January 15, 2013. It does not include laws of the One Hundred Thirteenth Congress, First Session, enacted between January 2, 2013, the date it convened, and January 15, 2013. By statutory authority this edition may be cited "U.S.C. 2012 ed." As adopted in 1926, the Code established prima facie the general and permanent laws of the United States. The underlying statutes reprinted in the Code remained in effect and controlled over the Code in case of any discrepancy. In 1947, Congress began enacting individual titles of the Code into positive law. When a title is enacted into positive law, the underlying statutes are repealed and the title then becomes legal evidence of the law. Currently, 26 of the 51 titles in the Code have been so enacted. These are identified in the table of titles near the beginning of each volume. The Law Revision Counsel of the House of Representatives continues to prepare legislation pursuant to 2 U.S.C. 285b to enact the remainder of the Code, on a title-by-title basis, into positive law. The 2012 edition of the Code was prepared and published under the supervision of Ralph V. Seep, Law Revision Counsel. Grateful acknowledgment is made of the contributions by all who helped in this work, particularly the staffs of the Office of the Law Revision Counsel and the Government Printing Office"--Preface.

Download or read book Telecompetition written by Lawrence Gasman and published by Cato Institute. This book was released on 1994 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are on the verge of gaining access to a cornucopia of information and entertainment, but government regulation threatens to bottle up the new technology. Cable and telephone companies are both protected from competition and forbidden to enter new markets. The Clinton administration considers spending billions of taxpayers' dollars to build an "information superhighway" that private companies are champing at the bit to build at no cost to the government. Today's Information Revolution is driven by three smaller revolutions in microelectronic, digital, and optical technology. The microelectronic revolution, based on the transistor and then the microprocessor, has given us word processors, programmable VCRs, "featureful" home telephones, and personal computers, all of which have moved computing power away from a technical elite and closer to the average citizen. The digital revolution allows information in any form - even graphics and sound - to be processed by machines. And the fiber-optic revolution means that much more information can be transmitted simultaneously. Together, those technological changes are erasing the boundaries that have separated voice, video, text, and data communications and are making regulatory policy as obsolete as dial telephones and vacuum tubes. Regulations have been based on the outmoded notions of natural monopoly, spectrum scarcity, and captive audiences - none of which seem very compelling in the modern era of Telecompetition. Communications analyst Lawrence Gasman argues that the best way to gain the benefits of new information technology is not a government-backed "communications superhighway" but a policy of free markets, deregulation, propertyrights, and upholding the First Amendment. The most important role for government is to protect property rights, then stand back and watch as new technologies break through the boundaries of old regulations. Telecompetition is the comprehensive case for deregulating telecommunications. It discusses such key issues as deregulating the Baby Bells, spectrum auctions, First Amendment rights for broadcasters, and the national data highway. Telecompetition shows that bureaucrats have neither the knowledge nor the incentive to intelligently guide the Information Revolution. With the regulatory stranglehold on telecommunications actually tightening in some ways - such as the 1992 Cable Act - even as the free market struggles to bring modern technology to all our homes and offices, Telecompetition is a valuable argument for deregulation, First Amendment rights, and free markets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contributors to this volume explore the dynamics of new communications technologies and public policy; from TPRC 2002. The contributors to this volume examine issues raised by the intersection of new communications technologies and public policy in this post-boom, post-bust era. Originally presented at the 30th Research Conference on Communication, Information, and Internet Policy (TPRC 2002)—traditionally a showcase for the best academic research on this topic—their work combines hard data and deep analysis to explore the dynamic interplay between technological development and society.The chapters in the first section consider the ways society conceptualizes new information technologies and their implications for law and policy, examining the common metaphor of "cyberspace as place," alternative definitions of the Internet, the concept of a namespace, and measures of diffusion. The chapters in the second section discuss how technological change may force the rethinking of legal rights; topics considered include spectrum rights, intellectual property, copyright and "paracopyright," and the abridgement of constitutional rights by commercial rights in ISP rules. Chapters in the third and final section examine the constant adjustment and reinterpretation of regulations in response to technological change, considering, among other subjects, liability regimes for common carriers and the 1996 detariffing rule, privacy and enhanced 911, and the residual effect of state ownership on privatized telecommunication carriers. The policy implications of Rethinking Rights and Regulations are clear: major institutional changes may be the necessary response to major advances in telecommunications technology.

This book was released on 1989 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communications policy as been a fertile area for testing theories of regulation, subsidy and incentives, free speech, political participation, and the public interest. The capacities of new communications technology have changed markedly since much of the governing legislation in the communications field was written. Such a change is likely to continue and have considerable impact on specific communications sectors and in communications policy. This two volume set of analyses undertakes a review of telecommunications policy in transition--of actions taken and not taken, of goals pursued or ignored, of the adequacy of policy vehicles and their strengths and weaknesses. The authors evaluate three categories of policy problems: those of concept, scope, and judgment in communications policy; those specific to media industries and forces affecting them; and those concerning wider public policy concerns intersecting with communication.

Book excerpt: For many countries, recent reforms in telecommunications represent a restoration of the private provision and competition that prevailed in the early part of the 20th century. At that time, just as today, telephone service in countries with competing private providers was superior to service in countries with a state-owned monopoly.

Download or read book Communications Policy in Transition written by Benjamin M. Compaine and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of research reports on policy issues involving telecommunications, particularly the Internet. Until the 1980s, it was presumed that technical change in most communications services could easily be monitored from centralized state and federal agencies. This presumption was long outdated prior to the commercialization of the Internet. With the Internet, the long-forecast convergence of voice, video, and text bits became a reality. Legislation, capped by the Telecommunications Act of 1996, created new quasi-standards such as "fair" and "reasonable" for the FCC and courts to apply, leading to nonstop litigation and occasional gridlock. This book addresses some of the many telecommunications areas on which public policy makers, corporate strategists, and social activists must reach agreement. Topics include the regulation of access, Internet architecture in a commercial era, communications infrastructure development, the Digital Divide, and information policy issues such as intellectual property and the retransmission of TV programming via the Internet.
