ICLE Statement on the FCC's Net Neutrality
Rule
PORTLAND, Ore.
(April 23, 2024) -- The International
Center for Law & Economics (ICLE)
offers the following statement on today's
vote by the Federal Communications
Commission (FTC) to adopt a rule
classifying internet service providers
(ISPs) under Title II of the
Communications Act.
The
following quote can be attributed to ICLE
Senior Scholar Eric Fruits:
Title II is
much more than net neutrality. It is the
same type of expansive and heavy-handed
regulation that governs public utilities.
The FCC's rule is a sharp reversal from
decades of light-touch regulation that has
fostered America's leadership in broadband
innovation and investment. The industry
would face the yoke of onerous federal
regulation and meddling that would stifle
and slow future investment and
experimentation.
For more on
the topic, see ICLE's issue
spotlight
laying out the
history of Title II and net neutrality, as
well as our comments
to the FCC on their
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

Net Neutrality: Regulation for Ideology's
Sake
IPI
President, Tom Giovanetti
Well, that didn't
take long. After the Biden administration
finally secured the necessary
commissioners to form an operating 3-2
Democrat majority, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) announced
Wednesday that it will hold a vote to
again reclassify broadband networks under
Title II of the Communications Act of
1934.
A brief history.
Activists have been calling for federal
regulation of the internet since the
1990s, but the Clinton and Bush
administrations wisely took a light-touch
approach, understanding that regulation
would impose unintended consequences on
this nascent technology.
As the broadband
revolution began in the 2000s, the FCC
chose to classify broadband networks as
Title I information services rather than
as Title II common carrier services. The
difference was significant, because under
Title II the FCC would have almost
unlimited regulatory power over
broadband.
We've all seen how
broadband networks have thrived under a
light-touch Title I regulatory authority,
with the growth of ecommerce, streaming
entertainment services, social media, and
the smartphone revolution.
But that innovation
and economic growth has not deterred
activists who simply believe in federal
control for the sake of federal control.
And in 2015 the Obama FCC, absent any
compelling data, voted to dramatically
change course and reclassify broadband
networks as Title II common carriers.
The ominous threat
of heavy regulation had the consequence of
discouraging private investment in
broadband networks, which the FCC found to
have declined by around $1 billion between
2014 and 2015.
Over the 20+-year
history, broadband network were only
classified as Title II common carriers for
a brief two years, from 2015 until 2017.
The Trump administration's FCC returned
broadband services to their original Title
I classification.
Since then,
broadband speeds have increased, and real
broadband prices adjusted for inflation
have fallen 12 percent since 2017.
In fact, broadband prices have remained
mostly flat during a time when inflation
has been driving up the cost of almost
every other consumer service.
In other words,
there is evidence that Title II
classification caused a harmful drop in
infrastructure investment, but not a
single piece of evidence of any benefit
from Title II, much less any evidence that
consumers have been harmed since that
two-year experiment was wisely
reversed.
But now, here we go
again. For purely ideological reasons, and
without data or examples of harm, the
Biden FCC is reasserting its power to
regulate broadband networks under Title
II.
Not only is such a
move unnecessary and in fact contrary to
evidence, but these major policy pendulum
swings every time the White House changes
hands cause uncertainty for broadband
companies and investors, which prevents
the kind of long-term planning and
financing necessary for major
infrastructure investments.
So, net neutrality
is back. But the Institute for Policy
Innovation (IPI) will be there pushing
back against harmful regulation of the
internet, just as we have since the
internet was being called the "information
superhighway."

CineWaves
motiv will be gracing
the
Munich
Film
Fest
The
international FILMFEST MÜNCHEN is
giving its awards a coordinated design
that will be reflected across the
festival
Starting this year,
the CineWaves will be the motif gracing
the awards presented at Munich's
international film festival.
"FILMFEST
MÜNCHEN has given itself a fresh
iconography inspired by one of Munich's
most scenic locations: the incomparable
Isar River. The flow of the water is
inspiring and surprising. It constantly
delivers something new. It encourages
interaction and refreshment, especially in
the summer," say festival director
Christoph Gröner and artistic
co-director Julia Weigl.
The design is based
on footage of flowing water which was
intentionally distorted by non-binary
artist PPPANIK using a play of colors and
other effects, thus becoming a cinematic
statement in itself. We're drawn into a
summery, lush, blue-green colorscape that
will remind everyone in Munich of the
Isar, the Eisbach, and the English
Garden.
During the festival
period from June 28 to July 7, all of
Munich's cinematic events will reflect
this design, which will be featured
prominently at the opening at the Gasteig
HP8. On Saturday, June 29, FILMFEST
MÜNCHEN will hold its festive opening
gala -- with a film and thousands of
guests who will already be making waves on
the first weekend of the festival.

The Octogenerian - ATAS a glittering
dream
-
By
Syd
Cassyd
Permission was given by Syd Cassyd to
Josie Cory, TVI for publishing.
Hollywood, CA
-
The
glittering dreams of the world for a new
culture and perhaps world peace through
television and radio turned to ashes when
Hitler used all media to destroy the
dreams and bodies of more than 30 million
persons.
When
in 1946 seven industryites in
communications joined me in founding the
"first generation" of the Academy of
Television Arts and Sciences, we didn't
foresee that in 43 years we would get the
recognition that the "third generation" TV
Academy has today,
We
weren't naïve, for since Jan. 6,
1884, the first TV system had already been
patented. For those 62 years world leaders
had already visualized the impact of the
moving image of television on society. The
problems in America was not when, but who
would control the new technology.
Because
there are three generations of the
Academy, each of the latter two calling
themselves the "new" Academy, undoubtedly
when the foundation selects people for the
Hall of Fame, no one will be around to
know that back in 1946, he was a
"founder."
As
Fred Sage, the fine actor in the "Wonder
Years" notes, each generation has their
own heroes.

101- History
of the Television Academy - The Beginning:
Syd Cassyd's
Dream
The history of
the Academy of Television Arts &
Sciences (ATAS) dates to the earliest days
of the television industry itself. When
Syd Cassyd, its founder, first conceived
of the organization, he envisioned a
serious forum where all aspects and
concerns of the fledgling medium could be
discussed. Flash and glamor were of no
interest to Cassyd. Indeed, for years he
refused to even consider the notion of
handing out awards.
"He thought
television was a really wonderful tool for
education," recalled his daughter, Donna
Cassyd. "He used to make us watch shows
like Omnibus, with Alistair
Cook."
Fortunately
for Cassyd and the other founders of the
Television Academy, the organization
eventually became both a place for serious
discussion as well as a place to celebrate
the industry's finest achievements with
its annual Emmy Awards ceremonies.

exhibitor viewpoints and events happening

HUNT VALLEY,
Md. & ARLINGTON, Va. -- In an notable
development that could help more public
broadcasters get on the air with NextGen
TV services, Sinclair Broadcast Group and
America's Public Television Stations
(APTS) have announced that in markets
where Sinclair has deployed a NextGen TV
Broadcast Service (aka ATSC 3.0) and a
public television station has not,
Sinclair will provide free carriage of a
virtual channel from that public
television station.
Carriage of a
broadcast-enabled virtual channel involves
transmitting programming data within the
NextGen signal that allows over-the-air
viewers with NextGen TVs to see and select
the channel in their programming guide and
access the channel seamlessly over the
Internet.
Under
this arrangement, Sinclair will provide
hosting at no cost to the public
television station. The public television
stations will also have the option to pass
through programming in high dynamic range
(HDR), significantly enhancing the video
quality to the viewers. Technologies such
as Advanced HDR by Technicolor will allow
content to be visually enhanced on NextGen
TVs that support the improved picture
format.
"America's
Public Television Stations partner with
Sinclair to offer more NextGen service to
more public television viewers," said
Patrick Butler, president and CEO of APTS.
"We are proud to have helped public
television stations in almost 30 markets
make the transition to the NextGen TV
broadcast standard. This partnership with
Sinclair will help serve local communities
while we work with other public television
stations to transition to NextGen TV to
advance their public service
missions."
"We
are thrilled to continue our partnership
with America's Public Television Stations
to help bring the next generation of
television to all viewers," said Rob
Weisbord, Sinclair's chief operating
officer and president of Broadcast. "For
public television stations that face
challenges in launching NextGen service,
we hope that this offer will help get them
in the advanced TV game and set the stage
for their eventual launch of this
spectacular service over the air."

Nathan B. Stubblefield, the Man History
Overheard
By
Harvey
Geller
In Life's current Bicentennial
issue, radio checks in, at #86 on the hot
"100 Events That Shaped America," 19
buttons behind Bell's telephone.
Erroneously, Life lists Guglielmo Marcon's
dots and dashes as the first wireless
broadcast, a fable echoed by the World
Almanac and Encyclopedia Britannica. It's
a forgivable mumpsimus, since the evidence
offered on the following pages has not,
until now, appeared in any national
publication.
The birth of broadcasting is a bizarre
soap opera saga, a lacrymal legend of
mystery, machination, ephemeral
enshrinement, decline, disillusionment and
disaster. It's denouncement dissolves six
miles north of Murray, Kentucky, in a
two-room shanty constructed of pine and
cornstalks, where radio's uncelebrated
architect is discovered 48 hours after his
death, his records scattered, his
equipment destroyed, his brain partly
eaten by rats. Even local radio fails to
mention his demise. He is Nathan Beverly
Stubblefield, the man history over-heard

died May 19, 2022 at the age of 81 in
Daytona Beach,
Florida
He grew up in the mountains of North
Carolina, and fell in love with the
beaches of Florida on a childhood visit.
He made his home in Daytona Beach, where
he worked as a high school chemistry
teacher and part-time lifeguard.
It was at his part-time job that Rice was
inspired by seeing people all over the
beach using Coppertone suntan lotion. He
became determined to create a unique
competitor, using his chemistry knowledge
to experiment with a suntan lotion
formula, scented with coconut and
fruit.
He famously mixed his first formula in a
garbage can, bottling it at home in his
garage with a $500 loan from his father to
launch his business. He named it Hawaiian
Tropic to evoke an exotic beach
locale.
His experiment was a hit making him a
multi-millionaire, with his Hawaiian
Tropic suncare brand creating sales of
$110 million per year.
Ricewith his Hawaiian Tropic brand became
known for sponsoring beauty pageants and
NASCAR racecars.
In 2004 he accompanied Troy Cory to a
concert tour through China.
After
selling Hawaiian Tropic to Playtex in
2007, Rice returned to the industry in
recent years with the suncare brand Habana
Brisa.

Scott B. Whitenack-Stubblefield Esq.,
great-grand son of wireless telephone
inventor, Nathan B. Stubblefield,
died
- By Troy
Cory
Scott Bryan Whitenack passed away
untimely on September 18, in Los Angeles,
CA.
Scott, aka Scott
Stubblefield, was one of four children
with siblings, Alden, Keith, and
Priscilla. (His brother Keith pre-ceded
him in death at the age of 32). His
parents were Troy Cory Stubblefield, an
entertainer and author and Dorothy
Swafford, owner of a furniture and
antiques retail store. Scott's children
are Steven, David and grand-children,
William, Bruce, Cora and Max, borne to
Steven and Skylark. Scott's
great-grandfather is Nathan B.
Stubblefield, the inventor of Radio, in
1882, and patent holder of the wireless
telephone (1908) and his great-great-great
.... grandparents were - John and
Priscilla Alden who were part of the
pilgrimage who sailed on the Mayflower to
Plymouth Rock from England in
1620.
(The
Stubblefield story is incorporated within
several photographs and denotes of and
about S Scott to show how their personal
ambitions and dreams parallel each other -
both died - before their dreams and
ambitions were
fulfilled)
During
the time he studied for the State Bar,
Scott lived with Josie and myself on our
family estate in Pasadena. He passed the
State Bar the first time and was among
only 33% to do so.
The balance of time was spent doing
cinematography for my TV shows, which he
considered an artistic outlet besides his
major life's work, in the field of law.
After he passed the State Bar he handled
numerous legal cases and ended up working
as an associate lawyer with Melvin Belli
with whom he engaged in several cases and
won a lawsuit that became precedent case
law. Whitenack was committed to his legal
profession for over three
decades.
r
If
you needed legal advice or help with a
motion filing, Scott was there with his
trusty law books. He was very intelligent,
outspoken and an independent thinker.
He
also was a family man, who loved hiking
and scuba diving, a good game of tennis
and enjoyed bringing his sons to Paramount
Ranch for regular family outings and
Father's Day get-togethers.
As
to his love for cinematography he
videotaped additional segments for the
movie "Christmas around the World." Scott
later became my producer and
cinematographer for "To Catch a Dream"
filmed in Europe. The video project
brought him and the production team to
Paris, Venice, Cannes, Munich and
Salzburg. Said footage with perfect
picture-book pans of the Eiffel Tower, the
Seine River, the leaning Tower of Pisa and
the Venice Bridge of Sigh, is a legacy he
left behind for us.
In the early 90s
during the writing of our 4-volume set of
books entitled "the SMART-DAAF Boys" about
the invention of radio and the the
wireless telephone, Scott lent a helpful
hand in giving his legal aspect of his
great-grandfather Nathan Stubblefield's
copyrighted and patented invention. He
also was the co-author of "Bank America,
the Tortfeasor."
Scott
as a teenager with John Wayne
at LA Herald-Express columnist Harrison
Carroll's Cinema Reporting Prize press
conference.
His
favorite poem is found on a card he
prepared for one of my Father's Days
titled "The Force That Through The Green
Fuse Drives The Flower."
He
leaves behind his father, Troy
Cory-Stubblefield, his mother Dorothy
Steele, sister Priscilla Stubblefield
Cory, brother and sister-in-law Alden and
Sara Stubblefield, step mother Josie
Cory-Stubblefield, sons David and Steven,
daughter-in law Skylar, and
great-grandchildren, William, Bruce, Cora
and Max; Nephew
Ryan White, and niece Jenny Wharton. His
brother Keith pre-ceded him in death at
the age of 32.
