Title: | United States | Contributor(s): | Lee, Karen (author) | Publication Date: | 2012 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/12478 | Abstract: | Since the adoption of the 'American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009' (The Recovery Act of 2009), which required the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the primary communications regulatory body in the US, to submit a National Broadband Plan (NBP) to Congress, the US communications regulatory debate has been dominated by discussion of how to ensure all Americans have access to broadband capability which is affordable and fully utilised. However, other technological changes have also coloured the regulatory landscape in recent years: the development of IP-enabled services, technological convergence and the impending wireless revolution. To understand the regulatory issues raised by broadband, IP-enabled services, convergence, the shift to a wireless society and the response of the US to date, it is important to understand the existing legislative and regulatory framework, how it developed and the commercial context in which the framework applies. | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Source of Publication: | Australian Telecommunications Regulation, p. 407-457 | Publisher: | CCH Australia | Place of Publication: | North Ryde, Australia | ISBN: | 9781921948893 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 180199 Law not elsewhere classified | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 480199 Commercial law not elsewhere classified | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 899999 Information and Communication Services not elsewhere classified 940299 Government and Politics not elsewhere classified 949999 Law, Politics and Community Services not elsewhere classified |
