WHAT DID THE CABLE COMMUNICATION POLICY ACT OF 1984 ACCOMPLISH

History
1 answer:
Naddika [18.5K]2 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

The act brought First Amendment challenges for interfering with expressive rights

The act subsequently elicited several First Amendment challenges for allegedly interfering with the expressive rights of the cable industry.

The 1984 act codifies many of the regulations governing cable that had developed during the 1960s. One result was that the FCC no longer has to justify its regulation of cable television based on cable’s interface with over-the-air, broadcast television.

The four most significant provisions of the act affect:

franchises,

cable rates,

public, educational, and government channels, and

programming.

The local government can award franchises

State and local governments received the power to award franchises and to determine the qualifications necessary for systems to be awarded local franchises.

State or local governments can revoke an operator’s franchise or deny renewal of it if the operator fails to comply substantially with the existing agreement, provides inferior service, proves to be legally or technically unqualified, or fails to meet the future needs of the community.

Rates can only be regulated for basic cable service with no competition

The act allows regulation of rates only for basic cable service, and then only if no effective competition exists. Cable operators claimed a victory because, given competition from other communication technologies, they perceived rate regulation as unnecessary. Those who opposed the provision argued that cable operated as a monopoly.

The act requires cable to set aside PEG channels

The 1984 act requires cable operators to set aside channels for public, educational, and governmental use, commonly known as PEG channels. The cable operator exercises little control over the content on these channels, which are used for a wide variety of programming, including but not limited to public meetings, delivery of instructional material, and student-produced television programs.

The act gives cable operators First Amendment protection

Although the cable act includes a provision punishing the transmission of obscenity over the cable system, it gives cable operators First Amendment protection for program content (unlike over-the-air broadcasters). State and local government franchisors may specify the number and types of channels and authorize public access, but cannot require specific program services.

Which statements describe characteristics of complex villages? Choose three answers.
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Complex villages were at risk for diseases.

Complex villages had artisans with special skills.

Complex villages stored food in buildings.

Explanation:

The complex villages were well connected and functioned as towns (though smaller), so being linked with the surrounding area and beyond led to risks of diseases.

The complex villages had permanent buildings, so this statement is not correct.

Complex villages had people specialized in certain fields, thus they had artisans with special skills.

Complex villages worked in a hierarchical manner, so this statement is not correct.

Having a relatively large population in small area meant that larger amounts of food are needed, which is why the food was stored in buildings in the complex villages.

Were the terms of the Treaty of Versailles fair and justified.??
Fantom [35]
If grade 10 history serves me correctly the Treaty of Versailles actually set the course for WW2 to happen. The Treaty has Germany claim full responsibility for the damages caused by the war and had them paying absolutely huge reparations. This caused them to be producing currency at an extremely increased rate leading to less value in money. This in a way ended up causing the depression that allowed Adolf Hitler to rise up from. (businesses couldn’t afford to stay open, people lost their jobs and couldn’t afford to live.) one of the first things he did was stop paying the reparations. Soooo I think the answer you are looking for is no but I’m not sure the context your assignment is looking for. Hope this helps!

Rashid [163]
Trump is republican which is now the president of the United States Of America. Here believes that all illegal immigrants should go back to their countries because supposedly they take American jobs from real Americans. He also wants to put a Muslim ban in Syria,Iran, Libya, Iraq and many more to come. He wants to ban them for a 90 day period from entering the USA because he thinks that anyone from those countries are terrorist. He also is against abortion, he thinks that any women that gets a abortion should be punished.

Hillary is a democratic/liberal. She wanted that all immigrants to stay here, and just deport the illegal immigrants that were criminals. She believed that not all immigrants are bad, that they should have a chance to live a better life here in America. She is pro-choice, that she believes that women should have the right to do decided if they want to keep the baby or not. She believes that the giver shouldn't decide for her on what she should with her body. She also wanted to keep ObamaCare because many Americans are/were benefiting from it, some of them were saying up to of thousands of dollars with this care.

(These are just the main topics about them.)
