Communications agencies in your nation

Postby Bevachitra » Fri Jun 03, 2011 11:43 am

The BCC (Bevachitra Communications Commission) was founded in 1934 as an allocator of television and radio frequencies. Several other duties require that content meets community standards and regulating ownership.

SSdR is the official state run news network, many other stations though. If breaking news were to happen that affected the entire country like a assassination all channels and radio stations except Vatican Radio, the other News stations, and Children's programs get interrupted to show the news

Tsvarchi does not have a communications regulatory commission. There are regulations for the industry which are monitored by independent watchdog groups, and censorship is illegal. As for any other issues, the industry in question handles and negotiates between themselves how to deal with those problems.

The privately owned Communications Committee (or CC) screens programs for content deemed inappropriate for public screening.

The Czech-Yugoslav Intelligence Service monitor all communication within Yugoslavia. All communications deemed to involve traitorous feelings towards the Emperor are recorded and traced, the person behind the communication is promptly executed on State TV. Other then that small regulation anything else can be shown.

Cliff notes. As long as it's Pro Emperor it's ok.

Once technology made divvying up frequencies irrelevant, we ceased the activity. Accordingly, the bureaucracy was dismantled and it's regulations ignored.

There is no central organization, as that is seen by us to be impractical. Instead there are groups local to different areas that oversee media outlets, and in cases where questionable material (i.e. explicit, provocative) is set to be broadcast a case must be made to these groups. Dubbed as "Media Nodes", the individual entities are entirely independent from one another, resulting in a wide variety of censored items though none which infringes on the freedoms of speech defined by national law.

Each state has a Telecommunications Comission to allocate frequencies. Some frequencies are "open" and left for private radio stations to use, but there are rules (they can't hog too many freqencies). The Federal Government has a few frequencies reserved for its own use.

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport issues broadcasting licenses on a shall-issue basis (i.e. everyone who meets a list of criteria set by the Department receives a license if they apply). Licenses are not used for censorship purposes; they are merely used to allocate frequencies to different channels in order to avoid interference. Licensees are charged an administration fee for the license when they first apply, and you must possess a license before purchasing broadcasting equipment above a certain power level. Broadcasting without a license is illegal.
Makaar is ranked 323rd in the world for Most Dedicated Public Healthcare.
