How
will digital TV serve the public's needs?
"We can make our most powerfully
effective medium a powerful force for expanding democracy. Free
TV time [as part of Broadcasters' public interest obligations]
can help free our democracy from the grip of big money....
That's the least we can ask of broadcasters, who are given access
to the public airwaves worth billions of dollars at no cost,
with only the requirement that they meet a basic public obligation."
President
Bill Clinton 1997 |
