Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

FCC ADOPTS RULES FOR ONE-WAY DIGITAL, CABLE-READY TV SETS
September 11, 2003 by Brigitte Greenberg|Miscellaneous

The FCC voted unanimously Wed. to adopt rules governing one-way digital, cable-ready TV sets, pushing the digital TV transition one step further. The order largely accepts the technical, labeling and encoding rules in an agreement reached by the cable and consumer electronics (CE) in Dec. However, the FCC made some changes, one of which was to order that the sets include over-the-air digital tuners -- something broadcasters wanted. The order also would allow computer manufacturers and others to hook their wares up to cable systems if the devices complied with the same content protections prescribed by the FCC. FCC Media Bureau Chief Kenneth Ferree said that was “not just a rubber stamp” of the industries’ original agreement.

BROADCASTERS CHALLENGED ON EMERGENCY ECHOSTAR PETITION
January 24, 2002 by Bruce Branch|Miscellaneous

Emergency must-carry petition filed by NAB and ALTV is beyond scope of Congress and would boomerang on their members by cutting off EchoStar subscribers’ access to local broadcasts in major markets and should be denied, Satellite Bcstg. & Communications Assn. told FCC in filing Wed. NAB and ALTV would “rather shoot themselves and their members in the foot for political gain than allow satellite carriers to bring local TV signals to as many subscribers as possible,” SBCA argued. Meanwhile, NAB and ALTV continued to push Commission to “block scheme” by EchoStar to require subscribers to install 2nd dish to receive local signals. Groups said they believed FCC rules prohibited satellite carriers from using 2 separate dishes to receive full package of local channels and subscribers shouldn’t be required to buy 2 dishes to receive signals for local channels.
