- Abstract
- The United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is the governmental body charged with regulating the terrestrial broadcasting industry. In July of 1987, in response to a petition from broadcasters, the FCC issued a Notice of Inquiry (NOI) concerning the adoption of standards that would permit an advanced television service to be established in the United States.<sup>1</sup> After studying the response to the NOI, the FCC, in September 1988, issued a Tentative Decision and Further NOI<sup>2</sup> defining a plan of action. This plan of action was further defined by FCC Chairman Sikes on 21 March 1990.<sup>3</sup> In summary, the tentative decision and plan of action requires that: (1) Existing terrestrial broadcasters must be able to implement an advanced television service; (2) The spectrum for such service will be found within the existing VHF and UHF bands; (3) ATS broadcasting shall be received by the present population of over 160,000,000 NTSC receivers by an ATS signal which is accompanied by a simulcast of an NTSC signal. (4) Channel bandwidth is limited to 6 MHz.
