Planning for the Broadcasting-Satellite Service in the United States of America
Abstract
The state of the Western Hemisphere's Broadcasting Satellite Service (BSS) system will be determined at the International Telecommunications Union 1983 Regional Administrative Radio Conference (RARC-83) for Region 2. A discussion is presented of the opportunities and problems presented by BSS in the U.S., and mechanisms by which the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is integrating private sector advice into its planning for the conference are considered. Among the services purveyed by applicants to the Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) system are sponsored rebroadcast, subscription, and leased channels.
