Abstract
The advisory commission’s message was clear: considering the prevailing confusion that existed in communication policy regarding media “players” and media regulation, the advisory commission recommended further centralisation of the regulatory process. This sounds very up to date, knowing of the recent debates about legislation in the fields of telecommunications, multi-media and broadcasting on both regional and national level. However, the advisory commission did not analyse the current situation in Europe, but had been appointed by the American President Franklin D. Roosevelt in order to investigate the situation in the United States in the early 1930s.
“The advisory commissions message was clear: considering the prevailing confusion that existed in communication policy regarding media players’ and media regulation, the advisory commission recommended further centralisation of the regulatory process.”
