Foreign and domestic US policies: Spectrum reservations and media balance

Harvey J. Levin

Telecommunications Policy, 1982, vol. 6, issue 2, 123-135

Abstract: This article examines the US opposition to a priori planning of the HF and space satellite spectrum, and 'orbital slots'. This opposition is then contrasted with the rationale of domestic pre-engineered allocation and allotment plans for television and FM radio. The article then contrasts the US animus towards Third World calls for a 'balanced' information flow with the longstanding US commitment to fairness, balance, equal access and diversity. The author suggest that the operation of a foreign-domestic double standard could damage US credibility.
