Schweizer, Corinne Puppis, Manuel Künzler, Matthias Studer, Samuel 2014 The advent of new broadcasting technologies has eliminated spectrum scarcity as a constraint on broadcasting, and with it one of the justifications for broadcast licensing. Have nations moved away from licensing as a form of regulation of their broadcasting sectors? And concomitantly, is there less opportunity to use licensing as a means of promoting the public interest in broadcasting? The authors address these questions through a comparative study of licensing requirements for terrestrial broadcasting and other forms of television and radio distribution in 18 Western nations. application/pdf https://folia.unifr.ch/global/documents/307662 https://folia.unifr.ch/documents/307662/files/schweizeretal2014-blastfromthepastpost-print.pdf eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.5325/jinfopoli.4.2014.0507 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess License undefined Journal of Information Policy. - 2014, vol. 4, p. 507-528 Communication policy Television broadcasting Industrial regulation Broadcasting stations Broadcast regulation Radio stations info:eu-repo/classification/udc/65 Blast from the Past? : A Comparative Analysis of Broadcast Licensing in the Digital Era http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
