We hope to have created a comprehensive, challenging, yet accessible text that will pay long-lasting educational dividends.
In this sixth edition, we have simplified wherever possible and minimized technological detail and regulatory history that were slowing down readers without sufficient pedagogical payoff.
It also includes "just-in-time" delivery of the text of statutes and regulations so that students get accustomed to parsing statutory material as they analyze legal questions.
This book includes concise technological and legal summaries and carefully edited opinions and FCC reports.
The basic ideas--power, entry, pricing, access, classification, (indecent) content, privacy, and intermediary--equip students with a durable and yet flexible intellectual structure that can help parse a complex and ever-changing field.
The book is organized by analytic concepts instead of current industry lines, which are constantly made out-of-date by technological convergence.
