A New Guide to Federal Cable Television Regulations revisits and updates Rivkin's "Cable Television: A Guide to Federal Regulations" from 1972, now that some five years of elaboration and "fine-tuning" in government controls have elapsed. Rivkin examines how these rules and regulations have fared in actual practice and details the subsequent changes that have been made in them as a result of citizen and industry feedback over the period. This text makes full use of the thousands of certifications granted by the FCC and a like number of interpretive proceedings it has held to resolve and refine disputed and ambiguous points. A significant feature of the new book is the material it contains on the expected impact of the new copyright law pertinent to cable television that becomes effective January 1, 1978.
