| Abstract: | The article focuses on the landmark case Red Lion Broadcasting Co. v. FCC as well as discusses the continuing relevance of upholding the public interest standard in regulating access to spectrum in the U.S. The author claims that the case is no longer applicable in 2008 since its concept of public interest was bankrupt. Moreover, he adds that upholding public interest means ensuring that every schoolchild has access to the universe of news, information, and ideas that the Internet represents. |
