Opinion: Communications policy must be guided by safety considerations
When considering changes to communications policy such as the elimination of the basic service tier requirement for local TV stations, federal lawmakers and regulators must keep public safety as a "core 'first principle,'" writes Robert C. Kenny, director of public affairs for TVfreedom.org. "If Congress decides to eliminate this consumer safeguard as part of STELA, it will be a disservice to the American public and begin to erode [a] fundamental premise that Washington's lawmakers and policymakers have long stood by," Kenny writes.

Technology Analysis: Shift to digital, cloud was evident at NAB Show
This year's NAB Show was a good example of how technology changes are affecting the TV industry, as traditional hardware purveyors such as Sony, Panasonic and JVC now compete with newer vendors specializing in digital and cloud technology, writes Edward Grebow, managing director of Morgan Joseph TriArtisan. "There was still plenty of hardware for sale in Las Vegas, but most of the buzz was about the cloud, collaboration, workflow, streaming, social media, software tools and solutions," Grebow writes.
