Title: Billy's Re-do Agenda Source: Broadcasting&Cable <http://www.broadcastingcable.com/>(p24) Author: Heather Fleming Issue: Television Description: House Telecommunications Subcommittee Chairman Billy Tauzin (R-LA) believes that there is an "insidious" plot by the FCC and Vice President Gore to lull the broadcast industry into thinking they are getting "free" spectrum for the transition to digital TV when they will really have to pay with free time for "government-mandated programs." Tauzin plans to introduce legislation that would free commercial broadcasters of public interest obligations in return for payments to fund public TV.
