Unreasonable Access: Another Turn Of The Regulatory Spin Cycle

by Robert Corn-Revere

Noted author and First Amendment expert Robert Corn-Revere discusses issues raised by the current FCC reevaluation of program access rules, and argues that no expansion of the existing rules can be justified. He shows that a compelling need for increased regulation of the cable TV industry cannot be demonstrated, either through antitrust arguments or from a public interest perspective. Mr. Corn-Revere makes a thorough and persuasive case that the cable industry must be allowed to operate according to principles of free enterprise and free speech.
