Yessss! You made an account! Totally sweet!
  • Anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people. Besides that, you shouldn't feel nervous or anything about a good-willed contribution. If you're concerned, talk to us.
  • When you're ready, start your first article using the Article Wizard. You don't HAVE to use it, but for your first article it really helps. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references. If you'd like more guidance, you guessed it, talk to us.

Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page. (You'll want to sign your name with these four tildes ~~~~ when you leave something on a talk page to help know who you are!)

Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia!

Effect of Communications Act of 1934

edit

The act established a legal base of regulating wired and wireless communications on nation-wide and world-wide. Federal Communication Commission founded because of the act; it was formerly Federal Radio Commission. Because of the act, American government could regulate new media base on new medium: public television, new wireless communication medium, and world-wide communication with detail regulation. Moreover, the act made a legal basis for commercial communication corporation as private TV and radio station. In the other side of view, U.S congress argued the act depressed telecommunication industry: the developing and using of new technologies for example. U.S. congress made a revision as “Proposals for Revision of the Communications Act of 1934: Telecommunications Issues” in 1982.

Federal Radio Commission vs. Federal Communication Commission

edit

FRC regulated radio communication only, but FCC covers any kind of wired and wireless communications; FRC’s authority was limited because of this moreover FCC inherited same authority from FRC. FRC could regulate national radio communication and radio communication between ships, but FCC can control other mediums, wired and other kind of wireless communication even radio too, and has more concrete of regulations on the act. For example, U.S. congress suspended the act of 1934 section 315, equal time provision, for a TV forum on presidential election in 1960 because every candidate has to have same portion of time to speech. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nalihero (talkcontribs) 17:37, 18 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
