Résumé
The Notice of Inquiry ("NOI") initiates the Commission's fifth review of its media ownership rules since the passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 ("1996 Act"). Section 202(h) of the 1996 Act requires the Commission to review its ownership rules (except the national television ownership limit) every four years and "determine whether any of such rules are necessary in the public interest as the result of competition." The Commission will take a fresh look at its current ownership rules in order to determine whether they will serve our public interest goals of competition, localism, and diversity going forward. The Commission's challenge is to adapt its rules to ensure that they promote these values in the new marketplace and into the future.
